Is Confession the answer? 'Fess up and tell us what you think!

TrueMomConfessions Guilt and confession are often linked together in faith communities. But what about as it relates to parenting?

A shout-out goes to ChiTown based Marketing Mommy, who blogged about True Mom Confessions which allows moms make anonymous confessions about how we may feel about parenting. The parenting could be our own, how we were parented or how we feel others are parenting.

What do you think? Do you find reading confessions to be soothing or disturbing? Do you feel the site helps alleviate the "sanctimommy" in some of us? Do you believe confessing helps absolve mommy guilt?

Whatcha think?

I'm so mixed about this site. On one hand I think it's weird and voyeuristic, and hyped up and pointless and on the other hand I'm like, oooo I can't wait to see what's on it next. Time will tell I guess.

I find it a little disturbing. What's the point in letting the world know your bad thoughts about being a mom? I think it would be more beneficial to list the reasons we love being mommy's(even if they are few somedays)so we can uplift other mom's and remind them why this is such a rewarding thing to be.
