Reverse Mommy Guilt?

Tue, 03-05-2013 - 2:14pm

Good mothers, it seems, are supposed to feel guilt about almost everything [2], from what we feed our kids to how much TV they’re allowed to watch. The biggest culprit? Leaving your children to do something on your own — whether it’s work, exercise, or even spending a long weekend with the spouse — appears to take top honors in the mommy guilt-trip hall of shame.

It's ok to feel happy about going to work. Really, it is. But what if you adore your children and you just don’t feel guilty? Some moms pursue their careers and enjoy much-deserved down time with a happy heart and a clear conscience… until they start to wonder, shouldn’t I be feeling that infamous mom guilt?

Ahhh, mommy guilt.  Do you ever feel it?   If not, do you ever feel a *wee* bit guilty that you don't? ;)
