My mom guilt is that I wish I had more money to be able to do more fun things with my daughter. I play with her, read to her and spend lots of time with her but could do more with more money.

I feel guilty for how often I get frustrated with my toddler now that I have a newborn

My youngest was 6 months old and he was in a cart at the store when my oldest proceeded to play with the cart, and because I was distracted he ended up dropping the cart causing my youngest to fall and get stitches and loose a tooth! I felt so horrible that I didn't avoid it.

I found that mom guilt, is a normal process for any mom who has to choose between spending the day playing, reading or just talking the day away with your child. In my case, I spent the majority of my childs toddler years taking care of my mother who had a stroke. Yes, my child was with me but she did not get my full attention that I swore if I was blessed to have a child at my advanced age, I would give her everyday. Some moms have to take their child to daycare so they can work and they miss out on a bunch of first too like Serena, or have physical problems or many other reasons they can't spend as much time with their child as they want. Guess what, my child is 15 yrs old now, and does not remember any of the long hours I spent with my mom while she played on a blanket . She remembers hot biscuits and jam, and why she has a love for green tea because she use to sip from my cup as I read books to my mom .

I Have much mom (granna) (grandmother) guilt about being so inpatient. Then my grandaughter who.is 14 months was walking around the house just.repeating over and over again hurry, hurry, hurry. I ha e totally slowed my roll and have been.workimg hardest on this one mom.guilt. Because I am missing out on so much by being in such a hurry and ending up no where.

I have preemie twin boys so the guilt started at GO! I had to deliver early. Guilt. I had to leave them in hospital. Guilt. I go to work and my SO stays home and I work too much. Guilt. Gosh I feel like they aren't socialized enough because my hubby stays home! I guess being a mom makes me guilty of all!

I feel guilty when I am working and my family is having lots of fun without me.

I sometimes shut my kitties out of my bedroom so I can have a meow-free few minutes to myself.

My guilt is the fact that I am a single mother with three kids. I receive nothing from their father and I felt that was the best situation and safest, to not have him in our lives. I fear my kids will hate me and never forgive me. I fear I am not doing enough. I fear I am too mean (always the bad cop per se). I fear they have too many responsibilities. I work two jobs, but I am there for everything; every milestone, every award, every smile, every tear. You are right, no matter what, we feel guilty about every choice we make as parents.

3 months after i have birth to my daughter my body started giving up on me, my bones and joints. I could not hold my daughter i could not get on the floor and play with her, i could not do ANYTHING. i could not take a cap off of a water bottle to make her bottles all i could do was watch her and sometimes hold her if the pain was not as bad. i missed the first year of my daughters life until i started a medication called enbrel which was a life save thankfully. ( i have rheumatoid arthritis severe)

i dont have any human kids. however, i do have 4 legged kids. i do have mom guilt when i have to leave them alone or tell them no for doing something they know better. i look back on my parents and how i was raised. i am not sure they have mom guilt even though they were not there for me. they had 4 kids and when i came along, i never had or got what the older kids got, no baby book, no baby pictures, had to pay for my own way, had to work thru school.

wanting time to myself

I wish all of could be happy at the same time. That's my guilt.

Absolutely, daily even. 5 kids and having to be mom all the time is tough. Sometimes I just want to be one if the kids too!
