“I have a great playdate for this week. I am joining another mom at her gym which has a daycare. We r dropping the kids off at the daycare for 2 hrs and then gonna have some coffee and MAYBE workout. SWEET.”
“I fed the kids breakfast & finally sit down with mine. I have them watching a show & the oldest just keeps whining he wants my food. I finally screamed at him to get the eff away from me. I feel only slightly bad-but damn! I deserve to eat MY OWN food occasionally right?”
“I was always a giver, very generous with my time, money, praise, etc. And of course people are very good at taking. Lately I’ve noticed that I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t want to give anything to anyone anymore. I can’t bring myself to donate to my friend’s cancer fundraiser. I can’t bring myself to drive 30 minutes to see a friend. I don’t want to be on top when I’m having sex. I even have to force myself to go school clothes shopping for my teenagers. I no longer feel like cooking. I’m not depressed (I don’t think). I’m just tired of feeling used. I don’t like who I am now.”

These are anonymous confessions of moms being brutally honest so that we can all feel a little bit better about ourselves (and then we realize that we can each relate to half of them…)
