Guilty...

I'm curious if there are any other stay-at-home moms that feel guilty about being able to be home all day with their little(s) while their SO (significant other) is off busting his butt each and every day.

Unfortunately mom guilt is just part of parenting nowadays. If you worked, you'd feel guilty for not spending every waking moment with them or not having the energy to really focus on them at the end of the day. Learning to talk yourself out of the guilt is an important skill.

You are busting your butt everyday too. If you decided to go back to work you'd have to pay someone good money to do exactly what you're doing. The fact that you enjoy the work you're doing at home doesn't change that. It's job satisfaction.
