You always have guilt as a working mum, and you overcompensate by buying them loads of things. That was what I was doing, anyway. I've kind of realised now that I'm the best mum that I can be.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think every mother feels that the best place for their child is with their mum, but you want things for yourself, too. So, you're either at work feeling guilty, or you are at home feeling frustrated.
I've shared the fate of many working mothers; I felt guilty like them.
Being a mum has made me a lot more responsible, it's not just me anymore. But it's also brought me the most joy ever!
When I feel like I'm not doing what I am supposed to as a mother, I will torture myself. I don't know how to deal with it. I find some consolation in the fact that all mommies feel it. If there was a way to cure mommy guilt, I would bottle it and be a bazillionaire.
Being a mum is the best thing that has ever been given to me in my life.
'I am a bad mother.' Every Christmas, this is what I think because the holiday season fills me with such anxiety. I'm sure that other mothers are happily baking cookies, decorating trees, and finding perfect gifts for everyone.
Like my mum, I sometimes buy things I shouldn't and fill my house with rubbish.
I was not a very good mother. I was always running out to do a movie or something. If I had to do it over, I would either have a career or children. I wouldn't do both unless I could work in my home. I spent 20 years feeling guilty, which is not a very nice emotion.
I think while all mothers deal with feelings of guilt, working mothers are plagued by guilt on steroids!
I expend far too much of my maternal energies on guilt and regret.
