Mother’s Day can be complicated. From feeling pressured to celebrate the moms in your life — no matter how you really feel about them — to managing your own expectations for how your family will celebrate you, it’s no wonder many of us would rather we treat the holiday like any other Sunday in May. But listen — it’s coming. And we should talk about it.
In this very special installment of Scary Mommy Confessions, 50 moms are sharing their extremely honest feelings about Mother’s Day, and you’re going to find a few of them relatable. While everyone has their own list of desires and wishes for the holiday, the overwhelming consensus is that we all want to feel appreciated and loved; and we don’t want to show anyone how to do that. Oh, and maybe we’d like for our mother-in-laws to get the damn hint already and stop trying to make a special brunch happen. It’s our day. You know… if we want to celebrate it.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, head here.
