I really need to get over my guilt

jenerally · June 2009

I make my own hours and I get paid hourly. Technically, I could leave right now and go home and help out my mom who is sitting for us today. I know how hard it is ... how long the day is ... and I know she'd be happy for the break.

But no one else comes home early to relieve ME on the days when *I* am home alone with the kids. I am getting paid to be here, do work, and have some adult time. I don't WANT to go home early.

But I feel guilty, like I SHOULD. Just to be a nice mama.

sigh.

GET OVER IT! (I say this in a lovingly way - you deserve a break!)

Since becoming a Mom, I have guilt about everything....I didn't realize that was part of the job. Hang in there...you are doing the right thing!!

I feel guilty because I should be working since M is napping so well.

It's been a long week, and I'm enjoying everyone too much right now.

Don't feel guilty breaks make us better Moms, IMO at least.
