From The Confessional: 'Husband Confessed To Being A Sex Addict'
Mom friends, job troubles, babies who won't nap, and more: What 21 parents are talking about this week.
When you pictured motherhood, part of that image might have involved all your new mom friends: people you met at a baby and me group, then kept hanging out with for life. For many parents, though, good mom friends are the exception rather than the rule. This week in the Scary Mommy Confessional, several people had thoughts on this— from a mom who recently relocated and is having trouble finding a group, to one who wonders why she’s always the one making plans for everybody. Other topics range from the professional (being fed up with life in corporate America) to the intensely personal (a husband’s admitted sex addiction). Read on for the full roundup.
