Mom guilt is the worst… and it can eat you alive and debunk all confidence (what little we already may have) in our parenting.

We need to be gentle with ourselves. Don’t compare. Don’t Judge. We are each on our individual journeys of parenting little individuals.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this… we need to break free from the mama guilt. You’re doing a good job.

Wishing you a lovely evening.

I don’t have kids, but I’m an aunt and I once got a tiny glimpse of the “mom guilt.” That is BRUTAL!!

I love this Laci. How very true! Doing everything for your kids now means you will continue the trend when they are 22 and moving back into your house for upteen years after college! I say every day, God gave me these kids to raise to be responsible humans not so that I can have best friends that are 24 years younger than me. Too many people want their kids to like them and have all they want.
Thanks for sharing and reminding us it’s ok to be a mother!

In reply to Julie. Haha I'm crazy to cause I Def know what you mean I crave routine and habit so I love working some days it may seem like to much but I know I would never be the best for my kids if I was a stay at home mom !! And we all feel like that sometimes no matter if your a super mom but it helps when we lift each other up and know hey its okay ♡♡ ●○•°•○°●○••°•○

I think every mom feels this way. I get mad at myself for losing my patience with her sometimes. I’m a stay at home mom right now but I am working on changing that. I have always worked sometimes multiple jobs my whole life and when I decided to stay home with her I didn’t know how hard it would be. I’m the type that NEEDS to work. I’m crazy. haha!

The first half of the post is exactly how I have been feeling!!! And the rest is so true! You have to think what you are teaching them! I often feel guilty about returning to uni then try and remember I am a better mum (as we say in England) when I am home after s break & I’m teaching my kids to follow their dreams?! Awesome post x

Great post! & you are right, every mom at some point deals with this mom guilt. I am always upset with myself when I do not show more patience with my toddler. I try to remember that I am pregnant & hormonal so that plays its part. & the hubs and I have been working with our toddler to clean up after herself. It is hard work, but a good lesson to learn.
