I'm disappointed by the 'reader's reactions' chosen for these confessions. These mother's weren't bragging, they confessing - which I view as a reaching out of sorts. The horrible attitudes,tone, and language in some of the replies made me think those ladies shouldn't be mothers. Lead by example friends - show compassion; and if you believe someone is misguided in their mothering you should lend a hand and offer an alternative rather cuss them out. You haven't walked in their shoes, lived their life, and you don't know who taught them how to be a parent. Wise up and help each other out.

Some of the confessions made my jaw drop, like: leaving you babies alone in the house while driving 5 min. to drop off a friend, or not having the baby in the car seat, etc. Those bother me. My dad is a cop and volunteer firefighter. House fires start and grow very quickly. Leaving babies alone at home, while you are gone is very irresponsible. Also, he has been to many a car accident wear the child was not safely secured. Almost every time, the child died. Fact: most car accidents happen within 10 miles of home. Also, leaving a toddler alone in a bath tub....very dangerous. Drowning takes a matter of seconds. So the confessions were child safety and health are concerned really bother me. Some parents need to grow up, quit being selfish, and taking responsibility for their children. A lot of the other ones are a matter of choice for the parents, like: letting young children play outside in a fenced in yard, not hovering over them when on the playground, going to Disney alone as a couple because the kids are too little to enjoy or remember it (Disney isn't just for kids, people), or letting your child go to daycare one day out of vacation to spend some quality time with your spouse. To me, those are definitely a matter of choice. Some of the comments are super judgement! No parent is perfect. And hovering over-protective parents create very insecure children. Just my opinion!

I do not even know how I managed through all 26!  I am so far from being the perfect mother and I  try so hard not to pass judgement on other mom's, but this made it a little hard. There are a couple that I would have to report as child abuse. Some,  according to  law, would be neglect. Some people are not aware of hw blesosed they are to have children, and that in itself is a shame!

Hmm trying to copy confessions of a scary mommy much?

Great website scary mommies

"Why even have kids? If you want someone else to raise them for you...."

"There is no me day when you decide to become a mother."

 

This is the stupidest crap I have ever read. I find the worst moms are the ones  who cant stand to cut the cord for even one day and have some me time, some alone time with their spouse etc. How selfish of you to yourself, your husband and your child. Everyone needs a break, even kids from their parents. The ones who dont get it, end up divorced and their kids end up pathetic and afraid to turn on a stove at 18. GET REAL!

"Why even have kids? If you want someone else to raise them for you...."

"There is no me day when you decide to become a mother."

I cannot believe two people had such stupid, negative reactions to the one about the couple being off from work and still taking their daughter to day care.

A day care isn't all day so they aren't "raising them." Idiot.
Forreal? No "me time" for a mommy? You need a reality check.

A wedding is supposed to be a public confession of love and commitment. It is about the joining of two people, the formation of a family. To exclude the children is the opposite of what it's supposed to be about."

 

AND THIS? Sorry but Im about to get married again and my children are NOT coming. Neither is anyone else. Hey guess what folks, you know who your wedding is about? YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE AND NO ONE ELSE. If having a private ceremony makes you happy, then thats all that counts. Its your day!

Any sexual reference on a child's t-shirt is a low class move by the parents."

 

Why? They got here from SEX didnt they? Or wait... did yours actually get dropped down the chimney by a stork...now THAT is low class.

A lot of these are awful! The one I think is great is the mother who has pictures of her daughter that she placed for adoption. The women replying that she should ask permission need to get a grip. She will always be the little girls mother. And pictures that belong to her are hers to do with as she pleases. And as far as getting over it, wth? You never get over the loss of a child, and you never forget!
