The one thing that helps me deal with feeling guilty as a mom is the thought that, if I was a bad mom, I wouldn’t stop to feel guilty.
Also, it’s nice to know that it’s just part of the gig – which definitely seems true after reading through these confessions from other women in the trenches.
The rest is your issue, not hers.
Surprisingly, this doesn’t end for many years.
And no, it doesn’t stop.
That doesn’t make it much easier, though.
So just make the right call for you and your family.
You just need enough love at home.
Keep repeating that to yourself.
You can’t guarantee anything in life.
Yes, at the same time.
But you also want them in your line of sight.
It’s just not.
It’s definitely not your fault.
Yeah, we should all be a bit more kind to ourselves, I think.
Take a deep breath, ladies. You’re doing great.
