Confessions?

There has been some buzz lately about a new book in which real moms discuss their true "mom confessions." Oprah even had the pair on the show today and had other moms from the audience and from around the country discuss their real life confessions---things like "sometimes I wonder why I even had kids" or "sometimes I just go in the bathroom and sit there, just so I can get some peace and quiet" and so on. Oprah yammered on and on about what a great thing it is that moms are discussing these things now. I agree, but I think the real accomplishment will be when we stop calling these things "confessions" and realize that being a mom is freakin' hard, and we should be honest about how it and how it makes us feeel sometimes.
