Do you experience #momguilt? You know, that insidious little tickle in your gut reminding you that you’re doing it all wrong? Here are 8 things off the top of my head that we need to stop feeling guilty about right now. What else would you add?
- Looking forward to bedtime
- Not listening the 500th time they tell us the same story
- Hiding the good snacks
- Leaving the dishes in the sink overnight
- Having that glass of wine after they’re in bed
- Taking a solo getaway
- Letting them nap, watch, play just a little too long
- Not feeling guilty when we leave them
Next time you feel those familiar pangs of guilt, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and remember:
You deserve REST, SPACE, TIME, NICE THINGS
When you get these things you are a better HUMAN, WOMAN, MOM
Your children will learn from your model of self-respect and self-care
Everyone WINS!
