Sure, parenting during the day is hard… but parenting at night is a whole different story. Notice we said “parenting at night,” not “sleeping,” because, well… for a lot of us, there’s not so much sleeping going on. From newborns who need to eat around the clock, to toddlers who don’t want to sleep alone, to spouses who seem to magically sleep through all the crying and complaining… there’s a lot to talk about, and it’s all here in the Scary Mommy Confessional.
