New year, new… confessions? New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day bring out a lot of feels for all of us, and in this week’s Scary Mommy Confessions, our fellow moms aren’t holding back. From stressing about what’s to come in 2026 to torching the past of 2025, there’s a lot to relate to this time of year. And if you don’t really have an opinion (yet), reading other moms’ new year confessions will surely have your own brain gears turning.
Because truly, some of us went through 2025 so quickly, it feels like a blur. There were horrible things, but also good things? There were wonderful moments, but also terrifying moments? For some, it feels like we just kept shouting “What is happening?!” in 2025, and for others, we’re really anxious that 2026 is going to be more of the same.
So no matter where you fit in, hopefully these New Year’s confessions will let you feel less alone.
