Feeling guilty because you let your kids eat junk food for dinner?
Because your TV is the babysitter tonight?
Because your business meeting is cutting into family time?
Let the guilt go! Post your guilty little secret in the Guilt Graveyard - and bury it for good. Then...relax!

my worst enemy
I am my own worst enemy. I feel guilty constantly because I am not SUPER MOM. I am not even close to Super Nanny, half of the time. I need to release the guilt and begin living and loving each day. It is SO hard to relinquish any control, period.

Career and Babies
I feel guilty by the fact that I want to take a job making a lot more money, but would have to travel and end up spending less time with my kids.Babies are 14 months and 25 months. My husband acts like I am the worst mother ever but I think he's just spoiled with me doing all the work! I am sick of being broke and hating my job. Are my kids really going to suffer if I'm gone a few nights a month?

Sleeping in...
My 5 year old daughter gets up every morning at 6:30am to wave bye to Daddy from her bedroom window as he leaves for work. Before he leaves, he sets out a spoon & bowl of cereal on the table, puts a glass of cold milk in the fridge, & turns on NOGGIN (preschool learning channel) so she doesn't bother mommy so early. :) :) :) (Since when she does bother me it's to tell me that she is hungry!) It has worked wonderfully for about a year now. I feel guilty sometimes for not using that time to spend quality time with her (before her little brother wakes up). But, that little bit of extra sleep is really hard to turn down when I'm running ragged from the minute I step out of that bed!

envy
sometimes when i see people either on tv or in real life who don't have kids, I'm a little jealous. especially of the fact that they can go to bed when they want and get up when they want. and go to the bank without packing a diaper bag.

Video Games V.S. TV Battle!
We have either Comedy Central on, or my partner is playing Call of Duty on the T.V. 24/7. My little 7 month-old's T.V. -free hours at home are limited. The only up side is that there is less T.V. Watching when she's at Grandma's while I'm at work. But the only excuse I have for keeping Call of Duty of the T.V. Is have the T.V. ON!!
