"You know that saying about how we should never judge someone because we have no idea what's going on in their lives? I honestly feel like that advice should be used every single time we interact with another mom. Not because we need to excuse them being rude or justify them being snappy at preschool pickup, but because we need to give every mom some grace, no matter the situation."
"And nothing proves all of that more than Scary Mommy Confessions. This week, the moms are dropping lots of private confessions and secrets, and it truly will make you think about every mom you know, meet, and see this week. 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."
People should not judge other mothers because outward appearances often conceal personal struggles. Smiles, busyness, and holiday enthusiasm can be coping mechanisms rather than signs of ease. Mothers may appear happy, organized, or festive while exerting significant effort or managing anxiety. Anonymous confessions reveal private burdens, secrets, and coping strategies that complicate surface impressions. Regular anonymous callouts invite mothers to share confessions, and archived confessions provide additional perspectives. Encouragement of grace and understanding toward every mother aims to reduce snap judgments and foster empathy during routine interactions such as preschool pickup and holiday activities.
