Ah, the end-of-the-year itch. We all know it well, right? We impatiently counted down the days to fall, but now that it’s here, a sense of dread has started to creep in over what’s to come. It feels like we’re on a crash course with holiday stress: wrapping presents (where are the f*cking scissors?!), sitting through tense dinners with the in-laws, trying to make joy for the kids when you kind of want to get in the car and keep driving until the chaos is in your rearview.

But in the immortal words of one of the great philosophers of our generation, “Seasons change” (thanks, Posty), and these transitions are inevitable. The holidays aren’t the only “season” on moms’ minds right now, either. Judging by our weekly roundup from the Confessional, there’s a lot of shifting going on — from phasing out friendships to making big home moves. Can you relate? Read below to find out.
