Secret Confessions of Moms

There are all things we, as Moms, miss from our DBK (days before kids).  Whether it be sleeping in or just plain reading a book, we all have days when we wish time travel was a reality.  Parenting Magazine may have the answers!

What’s your dirty little mom secret? We partnered with TODAY Moms on Today.com on an exclusive survey of more than 25,000 women to find out how moms really live their lives, and how they feel about their kids, partners and other moms. Read on to hear the juiciest secrets they revealed.

Out of everything they miss from before kids—a better body, more disposable income, time with friends—23% of moms most crave alone time. “I can't wait to get away from my kids sometimes.

While 18% of moms say they judge others for choosing not to breastfeed, even more—42%—confess they get sketched out over extended breastfeeding. “I breastfed my daughter until after she was 2, but my mom and husband are the only ones that know that,” one respondent wrote.
