Mommy guilt!
September 9th 2008 14:05
I know anyone that anyone who is a mom is familiar with the term mommy guilt. It seems to be something that we were born with, and it shows its ugly head the moment we become pregnant. Every decision has to be thought about from every angle, and even after so much careful thought you will worry about the choice you have made. Mommy guilt does not reserve itself for the big stuff either...you can feel it on even the smallest issues. For example, your child asks for a piece of candy, and you say no. Way to go you, right? NO!! Now you start asking yourself...what's the big deal? Its just one piece of candy. Why do you always have to be so uncool? Your child probably wishes he had Sally's parents who always let her have candy whenever she wants. Why must you be the one who is so worried about their teeth and health in general? You can see how tormenting this can be for a mom. In a day you probably make many decisions, some big and some are small. So if you are constantly second guessing yourself how do you have the time do anything else? You don't of course, and that is why you feel guilty about the house not being spic- and- span. You worry that your husband or significant other thinks you nag them too much...which of course you do because if you didn't would anything ever get done? NO!!
So what we are seeing is that guilt can come from anywhere...and we are helpless to its evil voice. I'm sure that their are a few moms out there who don't have this issue...Those are the ones I aspire to be like. I would love to be confident in my choices...hopefully someday I willl!
