While watching the Today show this morning, I saw a story about mommy confessions and a website that gives women a place to complain. I immediatly went to the website and began to read. Post after post from mothers, admitting some of their deepest feelings, in what seems to be a guilt free environment. I am honestly not sure how I feel about this site. Truth be told, I myself have posted many times about the struggles and challenges of motherhood. I have said some things to my sister and my own mother, about my parenting experiences, that made me feel awful the moment they came out of my mouth. The comments range from complaining about the judement towards stay-at-home mothers, to an extremely serious confession from a women who called her teenage daughter a nasty name.
Let's be honest. We are all exhausted and overwhlemed at times.There is constant pressure to do it all and make it look easy. It feels good to get it off our chests, and relate to other parents, but is this website taking it a bit too far? Is it healthy or simply fanning the flames? I would love to know how others feel.
