Charlotte — Guilt is, unfortunately, a part of being a mom! But you’re so right, it drives us to do things that aren’t even that useful when we let our guilt overcome us. The actual important things are the things we do by nature: feed and clothe our children, love them, keep them safe, etc. A little television on a Sunday morning? Not a big deal!

Thank you for your note! I’m so grateful.

Guilt is familiar to many. No matter what I do, I always think it’s not enough because I want the best for my child. I guess everyone thinks in a similar way.
You made me rethink my behavior a little. Thank you! I totally agree that sometimes we demand too much from ourselves and as a result, we don’t do anything that could be really useful due to doubts.

Liz, I HEAR YOU / I SEE YOU!

Mom guilt is tough, especially right now. A full-time gig at home with two kids sounds mighty hard. You are superwoman! I’m so glad this resonated. Wishing you all the best now and always.

I really struggle with mom guilt, especially now. I am working 40-45 hours a week from home while my husband watches our 2 and 5 year old and tries to work a full time job as well. As I always do I focus on the things that aren’t perfect and don’t take enough time to marvel at how well we are coping with everything. I love “Instagram is a highlight reel not real life” – going to write that down somewhere I can see it daily!

Be well, and thank you for the message!

I really needed to read this especially during this time at home while I’m still working and still maintaining a blog while cleaning a house and taking care of a toddler.
