Mommy Guilt...Ugh. Where do I begin? For me it seems inescapable. I know I'm not the only one who feels it rear its ugly head at least once a day---and that's if I'm lucky! I know that this is something many mothers go through as much as they try to relax and be the best version of themselves that they can be. Unfortunately with all the pressure and competition to be "
The Best Mommy" and make all the right choices for your kids this feeling is almost impossible to shake. There are even times where you forget to remind yourself that you are a great Mommy--at least your kid probably thinks so! So, in order to brighten other Mommies' days I am now instating Mommy Guilt Monday. Every Monday, or at least the ones I can remember, I will post my very own admission of Mommy Guilt. Hopefully, for those of you who may be reading this and are also mothers, you will feel a bit better about yourself and the job you're doing as a mom after you read what horrible things I am guilty of. : O )
Mommy Guilt Admission #1: I pray for an early and looooong nap time every day just so I can sit on my tush, check my e-mail and Facebook, dick around on the Internet, eat my meal in peace and maybe catch up on some addicting T.V. shows I Tivo'd.
Oh, Mommy Guilt.
Sooooo guilty of hoping for a long nap for the exact. same. reasons. I also hope for early bedtimes for the same reason. :)
