Wouldn’t it be nice if we were all born with an internal manual that automatically reflected any big changes? Like an app on your phone, it would update in the night while you slept so you’d be ready to face your new reality the following day. Unfortunately, life doesn’t work that way — we just have to figure it out as we go. And in our latest round of anonymously submitted confessions, moms seem to be grappling with the kinds of revelations that would sure be helpful to have a handbook for.
From adapting to being the parent of a college-aged kid or learning about a surprise pregnancy after being laid off to epiphanies about sexuality, parents are revealing the things they’re currently trying to troubleshoot. Keep reading to see if you can relate.
