TODAY.com and Parenting.com surveyed more than 26,000 moms about their secrets and confessions – and discovered plenty that doesn’t get discussed at play dates. Even in our post-Oprah, confessional culture, there are some things moms just don’t say out loud.

• 85 percent use their kids to get out of social obligations.
• Nearly one in three uses work as an excuse to avoid taking care of the kids.
