There’s a Place Online Where People Can Tell Their Moms Everything They Can’t Tell Them in Person

For different reasons, many of us can’t tell our moms about our victories and losses. For such situations, Reddit users created MomForAMinute, a place where people can tell their imaginary mothers about anything that is going on in their lives.

We at CHEERY couldn’t ignore this kind of idea, and we want to show you the most moving confessions from the people on this subreddit.

“Hey, Mom, it’s my first birthday without you calling me and singing ‘Happy Birthday’, but they decorated my office to surprise me this morning.”

“Hey, Mom, I finally am getting out of my depression and tapping back into my creativity for event design. Made a fairy tale sleepover for my goddaughter’s 10th birthday.”

“Hey, Mom, meet your beautiful granddaughter, Zoe!”

“Hey, Mom! So I’ve reached a pretty big milestone and have now been transitioning for over a year! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, and I hope you’re proud of your daughter.”

“Mom, just because I want to wear black to my wedding, it doesn’t mean I’m mourning my marriage... I really just like the color better than white!”

“Hey, Mom... I just want you to tell me I’m doing a good job, and that you are proud of me. I’m trying so hard.”

“Hey, Mom, today is the second day in a row I made lunch instead of waiting until dinner to eat. I’m slowly learning to take better care of myself.”

“Hey, Mom, I got my first tattoo yesterday. I’m nervous about showing it to you. What do you think?”

“Hey, Mom, I had my heart broken. I took your advice. Put on a fake smile, dressed up & asked the cutest guy I know on a date. Wish me luck.”

“My mum passed away long before I was married and long before my wife and I finally got pregnant. My daughter had her first birthday. Didn’t she look beautiful, mum?”

“Hi, Moms. I’ve got no one to share this with, but I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years, and she said ‘yes’. I’m the happiest woman on earth.”

“Hey, Mom. It’s been 17 years since you passed. I’m 22 now and life hasn’t been easy, but I’ve endured. I really wish you were still here. I think you’d really be proud of me.”

“Mom, my baby is officially 6 months old. I never thought this would happen after I had 2 attempts. I’m so in love with her, she’s amazing.”

“Mom, I did it! I won a scholarship, I’m on my way to becoming a welder!”

“Happy Birthday, Mom. I graduated from college yesterday. I miss you every day and even wore your shoes, so you’d be walking the stage with me.”

“Hi, Mom! Today I (almost) completed my first successful sewing project after many tries and failures. A dress for my baby girl for an upcoming wedding.”

“Hey, Ma, I wrote that book. I really want you to be proud, and thank you for taking me to the library.”

“Holy moly, Mom... I am going to be a mom.”

Tell your mom something here that you can’t tell her in person.
