I really enjoyed reading all your comments and perspectives on mommy guilt. Yes, it’s universal and as my husband pointed out, even dads are prone to it (okay honey, I get it, the whole Cat’s in the Cradle thing). So, in an effort to deal with our daily dose of mommy guilt, I’d like to share some (hopefully)…
The First Symptom of Pregnancy
No, it’s not the nausea, fatigue, or tender breasts…I believe the first symptom of pregnancy has got to be the Mommy Guilt. We’re all afflicted by it and if you think about it, mommy guilt was probably the first pang of pregnancy you felt. Case in point, what did you do immediately after realizing that…
Searching For The Pot of Gold
