When it comes to summer vacation, some of us wish we had a less structured work schedule, while others dread the vast open stretches of time without the year’s typical routines. This week in the Scary Mommy Confessional, we hear from parents in both camps. Of course, there’s also plenty that people want to share on other topics — like annoying phases, general exhaustion, and husbands who can’t be trusted. Read on for the full roundup.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, head here.
