25 All-Time Favorite Mommy Confessions

Written by Jill Smokler on CafeMom's blog, The Stir.

The great irony of motherhood is that despite never actually being alone (hello, can I please freaking pee in peace?!), you can find yourself feeling more isolated and lonely than ever before. Whenever I'm feeling like I'm the only mother who's ever silently sung "shut the hell up" in my head or gloated that my brownies were the best on the bake sale table, I pop over to my Scary Mommy Confessions and instantly feel better. There are other mommies just like me who don't always say or think the right thing. They are crass and jealous and frustrated and insecure and ... human. Hallefreakinglujah.

Here are some of my favorite mommy confessions. (With one of my very own.) Can you relate?

So, what's YOUR mommy confession?
