A big part of mother hood is feeling guilty and it's really not fair becuase most Moms need more support.
You need a break, and don't have to do everything perfect to be a great Mom. One thing I wish I did was specifically put time aside for dating and myself. If you do this you will help yourself be a better Mom.
My kids are 8 and 11 now. This all will pass. Try to treasure the good things you have and give yourself a pat on the back.
Thank you. I am considering joining a local Zumba class on weekend mornings. I would also like to just go hide in the local library for a few hours, but I bet exercise will help me more.
DH plays soccer every weekend for a few hours and he sure doesn't act guilty for it! What I don't like is how miserable DD acts when I leave her just with DH. But maybe some alone time together will help the two of them.
