dealing with mommy guilt
January 14th, 2008 at 7:35pm |
Right now, I am trying to figure out how I can unpack from our time away, clear the other clutter, and get some work done. Without feeling like I’m ignoring the baby. When he’s awake, I want to spend time with him because he’s growing so fast. If I sit him in the bouncy, or lay him on the bed propped up in his boppy, I feel like I should be talking to him or playing with him. It goes by so fast. But I also have things I need to do. Will I kick myself later for not spending enough time with him when I had the chance? Will the things I think are important now not seem so important in retrospect? I have maybe a month and a half (at most) left of leave. Then what?
How do you reconcile these things? Do you ever?
