Feeling guilty..about everything!

MrsMAFMrsMAF member
in Success after IF

I feel guilty that I'm going back to work next week, I feel guilty that I am weaning LO from EBF, but I feel guilty when I am EBF because it seems everything I eat bothers him. I feel guilty that another person is going to be taking care of him and she can't possibly take care of him the way I do. I know it's kind of ridiculous because he's 3 months old and doesn't care who is feeding and changing his diaper during the day, and even though he likes the boob, he just wants to eat and he takes the bottle. 

Anyone else ever just feel guilt stricken about things like this?

    omg yes!!  and I can tell you, it DOES get better!!  weaning took sooo much of the stress off of me that it helped me get over the guilt.  Hang in there!! Its tough to be a working mom, but it will be ok, I promise :)  My son is healthy, happy, he loves his DCP, and she does so much more with him (as fas as teaching) than I would have ever had the energy to do! 

    (((HUGS))))  (and ENJOY the hell out of this week!!)

    I think no matter where you are and what you need to do for your family, you get mommy guilt. I SAH with little one and there are days I feel guitly about not sending him to DC because I think they would be better teaching him things and he would interact with more kids than he does staying home.

    You can never win - you just gotta do the best you can. Hang in there mama! You are doing a great job! 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!

    It doesn't matter if you are a working mom or a stay-at-home mom, all moms feel guilty about something. You are not alone we all feel this way. Good luck and please know that it does get easier.
