True Mom Confessions
Whether feeling exhausted or exhilarated, turned on or totally tuned out, moms come in all emotional states and sizes. This online confessional, reportedly the first of its kind, opens a window on the secret sentiments mothers harbor. There's no guarantee that the comments here truly come from women with children, but most of them ring achingly true. The candid disclosures take on husbands, singlehood, and pacifiers. Some beam with gratitude and the joy of mommyness; others starkly admit to being lost and favoring one child over the other. While the posts are absorbing, it's the "me too" function that frequently gives the comments their extra zing:
"Sometimes I think other peoples' kids are ugly and I wonder how they can't see it." Me too: 53 "When I look at pictures of myself as a teenager, I kick myself for thinking I was "fat."" Me too: 143 "I have no desire for sex anymore. I would rather sleep." Me too: 126
