Anonymous Mom: I Wish I Had Accidentally Gotten Pregnant

Anonymous Mom: I Wish I Had Accidentally Gotten Pregnant

When I was 17, I was in love with a boy who was my entire world. He was a few years older and enlisted in the military, going off to boot camp and serving in far away places throughout his military career. Meanwhile I finished high school and enrolled in college, trying to continue my life while writing daily letters, awaiting intermittent phone calls and widely spaced visits in person. At the time, I thought that he would eventually get out of the military, return home to me and then we would finally get married and raise a family. I was too young and naive to fully grasp what that plan truly encompassed. More »

Anonymous Mom: I’ve Decided To Divorce My Alcoholic Husband Because He Endangered Our Kids

Anonymous Mom: Iâve Decided To Divorce My Alcoholic Husband Because He Endangered Our Kids

His drinking has caused numerous problems for us in our 11 years of marriage. All of which are swept under the rug, and, for me, stored up as resentment towards this, otherwise, pretty awesome guy.

I used to think that I would NEVER get a divorce. And tomorrow I may feel that way again. But today, I am ready for it. Today, I hate my husband and see no change in his behavior in sight. More »

Anonymous Mom: I Haven’t Changed My Baby’s Diaper In Over 6 Weeks

Anonymous Mom: I Haven't Changed My Baby's Diaper In Over 6 Weeks

I have not changed my 11-month-old’s diaper in more than six weeks.

I consider this one of my all time greatest achievements in life. What mother of a non-toilet trained baby do you know has gotten away without changing a diaper for a day? Let alone weeks weeks? I’m not bragging that I haven’t changed a diaper. It’s just I’m in total shock that no one in my family has noticed. I’ve started to count the days until someone in my house finally says, “Hey, when is the last time YOU changed a diaper mom?” More »

Anonymous Mom: I Hate That Everyone Demands To Hold My Baby

Anonymous Mom: I Hate That Everyone Demands To Hold My Baby

All of this is pretty normal: woman has baby, woman wants to be with her baby. Nothing extraordinary here. The thing is so many people seem to feel entitled to TAKE — that’s right not visit with but TAKE my not-even-1-year-old daughter from her Dad and I. This isn’t a case where we are abusive and need to be relieved of our parenting duties I assure you. Nope, my in-laws and even one of my sisters constantly ask, cajole, and even demand that we GIVE them our baby. More »

Anonymous Mom: My Boyfriend’s Ex-Wife Is Going After My Money — In Their Divorce

Anonymous Mom: My Boyfriendâs Ex-Wife Is Going After My Money -- In Their Divorce

I’m going to get slammed by mentioning the ex-wife. People don’t like when you talk poorly about ex-wives, especially when children are involved. But it’s kind of like childbirth. No one can really explain to you what you are getting into just as they can’t really tell you what you are getting into with a man who is battling, or in the midst of a divorce, with their ex. Every birth is different as is every divorce. I’ve been through a divorce. And, yes, I’m going to bitch about the ex-wife. More »

Anonymous Mom: I’m Afraid I’m Becoming My Abusive Father

Anonymous Mom: Iâm Afraid Iâm Becoming My Abusive Father

I grew up in a physically abusive home. Fueled by alcohol, my father’s outbursts could be triggered by a bad day at work, my not picking up my things, my not picking them up properly, or, as was usually the case, absolutely nothing at all. I’m not sure when the abuse started but my earliest memories include living in fear of him and needing to tiptoe around the house when my father was home. More »
