My Spouse Became Polyamorous... And Didn't Tell Me

Here at Scary Mommy we run a column entitled Ask A MWLTF (yes, that's Mom Who Likes To F*ck). And this piece was a highlight of 2024 for me: It's about a woman whose marriage is quickly – like before her very eyes – turning polyamorous, only she doesn't really recall consenting to it. It's a great piece – one of my faves from the year – and if you missed it originally, I hope you get a chance to read it now.

I'm Done With New Year's Resolutions

Let's face it: New Year's resolutions are the absolute worst. And while this piece is a few years old, it still holds water: It argues just that. CJ Kelsey says that resolutions only set you up to fail and, in turn, you feel even worse about yourself. So why bother in the first place? May this be in your ear while you think about what – and if – you want to commit to a resolution for 2025.

Motherhood Goes Feral In 'Nightbitch', A New Obsession-Worthy Film Starring Amy Adams

Congratulations, you're *this close* to making it through the holiday season. This is your sign to put the kids to bed, grab your favorite beverage or snack, and take back a little 'you time' in the form of a much-needed movie night.

Starring Amy Adams and directed by Marielle Heller, Nightbitch follows one woman who puts her career on pause to be a stay-at-home mom. Soon, her domesticity takes a surreal turn as she begins to notice signs that she's turning into a dog. Critics gave the movie "FIVE STARS" and are calling it a "daring smart film" that is "a stellar, amusing, and moving valentine to moms." And star Amy Adams is even nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy.

Stream Nightbitch now on Hulu ⮕

PSA: You're Not Washing Your PJs, Sheets, Or Towels Enough

This piece is an oldie, but an (alarming) goodie. Turns out, none of us are washing our linens nearly enough. So now that the holiday season is imminent, and that generally means a few days at home, maybe take this time to do a boatload of laundry? I know I will.
