Here’s a hard truth: A huge part of being a mom is carrying around things that would be too uncomfortable for other people to bear. We often swallow our fears, our anxieties, our annoyances, and even our everyday “icks” to save other people’s feelings — or, in the case of our kids, protect them. But is everything that we omit really better left unsaid? When is it wiser to unburden yourself and share the mental load you’ve been carrying with someone else? Judging by this week’s roundup from the Confessional, many moms are grappling with those questions.
From telling little white lies just to get some peace and quiet to harboring secret attractions, there’s a lot bubbling just below the surface. Read on to see what’s being left unsaid (for better or worse).
