The Mommy Confessions

Mom Life- hardly ever easy, almost always fun!!! My hobbies include laughing (or crying) through the good times and the bad. Queer & Outspoken! Follow me on IG!

To people who say, “just keep your content to funny parenting memes.” You don’t get to enjoy my humor, if you can’t also accept my being queer, being a single mom, having mental health struggles… just me being ME.

The amount of “larger women” in tiny @$$ bikinis at the beach rn is… EVERYTHING!!!!!

“Blood is thicker than water.”

… except apparently my family missed the memo…

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

It’s not “left or right”, “liberal or conservative”, it’s “are you willing to let PEOPLE live without basic HUMAN RIGHTS?”

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

Are you really afraid of BOOKS and a RAINBOW flag?! Does that REALLY keep you up at night fearing for your children?! Help me understand, bc my “kind” are in legit DANGER, and a lot of you don’t seem to give one fvck. THAT is not a FRIEND. THAT is not SUPPORT.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

To my “conservative” or “Republican” “friends”-If u actually care abt ME & my KIDS how cn u vote against my basic HUMAN RIGHTS?” How cn u “support me”, bt not let my kids tlk abt our fam in SCHOOL? How do u love me face to face bt vote to CRIMINALIZE ME? Is $ THAT important to u?

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

You “support me” but u vote against me… marriage rights, birthing rights, parental rights. There was a 🏳️‍🌈couple arrested for kissing in public. Why are u voting to criminalize me? To demonize me. U SAY u support me but u can’t if u vote for me to have any less rights than YOU!

My secret talent is being able to find the most unhealthy item in a health food store.

If my kids can walk into a bra section at Target and not grow boobs, your kids can go by the Pride section and not catch “the gay”.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

I fight for trans kids, bc my friend who has a trans kid can’t speak up, for fear of what will happen to her family. Her child. I fight for trans kids, bc I safely CAN.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

When people say things like “I am not hateful, I have lots of gay friends, but…” you know some hella hateful homophobic sh!t’s about to pop outta their mouth! Every time, without fail.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

@RileyScout1520 I’m part of the problem? I’m working to end the stigmas. I WISH it was as normalized as hair color. But it’s not. And as a queer person myself, living the struggle, why would I wish it on my kids? Or anyone? I don’t wish my kids to be gay or not gay. I wish them to be themselves!

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

Yes I am a Queer mom. Yes I am proud of who I am. Yes I support the LGBTQ+ community w my whole heart. But, no, I would never WANT either of my children to be gay or trans. Solely because I know what it’s like to fight that battle. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, let alone my kids.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

Some ppl have asked if I’ve told my kids that they are from a sperm donor & the answer is-Yes!

There is nothing on the internet about my kids that they don’t already know, themselves. I’ve talked about it with/around them since they were born. It’s no secret. Just our journey.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

I miss the days when my son just needed a kiss on his pretend boo-boo, to make all of his sadness, pain, and worries, go away.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

I was talking to a man who truly believed that Target sold “tuck friendly ONESIES”. As in… for a BABY.

1. Who is tucking an infant’s gen!ta!s? (Answer: No One!!)
2. An infant wears a diaper. So, how/why/what would you “tuck”, anyway?

The ignorance is astounding!

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

Just like all our journeys are unique, so are our perceptions and experiences. And the same goes with our healing. That’s why it’s so important not to compare, and to give yourself grace. You deserve it!!

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

The hardest part about parenting is that it is exhausting. But, “how to parent” is easy. Just love and accept your kids, unconditionally, and everything else will fall into place.

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

I’m in a strongly conservative town rn and every time someone passes me in any kind of colorful shirt, I like to keep things interesting by commenting, “I LOVE your Pride shirt!!”

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

Kids are strange. They think broccoli is the grossest thing on the planet, but can stand in the bathroom while I’m dropping a deuce, and have a straight conversation, without batting an eye. Like, you obviously do not have any clue what gross actually means!!!

[The Mommy Confessions @alexandrafishr]

I’m not saying “women are better than men”, but we CAN grow a human in our abdomens, birth that human out our vaginas, then bleed for the next 6 weeks, AND live to tell about it, soooo… We’re kinda a big deal.
