Sometimes I think, 'Why should I work out when I can spend time with my kids?' I feel guilty doing something for me.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I feel intensely guilty for working... You have to be able to provide for your kids. But I feel like it's a weird modern phenomenon that you always feel guilty for it.
I often feel very guilty because of the time that I spend outside of my home and the little time that sometimes I have for my kids.
I do feel a lot of times like I'm out of my league with my kids in terms of what my responsibility is.
When I see other people out there, involved, and really giving their time and effort for the kids, then I don't mind giving my time and effort for the kids as well.
There are days when I struggle with wanting to be a full-time, stay-at-home mom, and feeling guilty about that because I work.
Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
I've worked too hard all my life to have my kids control my life.
You want to spend time with your children even though you are tired so you do all those things.
When I'm not working, my time is really about my children.
I work out every day. It's part of my life. That's one of the benefits of having kids in school full-time.
