You’re convinced you’re the only one who’s ever felt this way, the only one who’s ever regretted your baby’s name, the only one who’s found solace in an emotional affair — but these Scary Mommy confessions prove that, more often than not, we’re all the same. From relatable wishes like wanting more friends and common worries like stressing about money, 15 moms this week are telling us (anonymously) some of the same things we’ve all felt when we wake up at 3 a.m. Pass the honey… we’ve got some tea to enjoy.
