Is the quest really for "time for myself" or is to feel less guilt?
That is what I need to process.
Here is a list things that leave me feel the mommy guilt...
Too many times I make my kids wait so I can read or post something on the computer.
I think my son might get too much computer/TV time
I think my daughter gets too much TV time (granted they are watching quality/educational shows)
Frequently, they don't get dinner until after 6:30pm
I am asked constantly to play and I almost always find a way out because I just don't know how to play trains the way he really wants me too.
I don't like to play.
I don't pray enough with my kids.
Right now as baby girl is simultaneously cutting 4 teeth, I let her pretty much eat whatever she asks for. Though I think there is a limit in how much dried pineapple an almost 2 year old should eat.
As fun as she is, I can't wait for nap-time so I get stuff done.
Not going outside or forcing them to go outside on a beautiful day.
This list is not comprehensive by any means I could go on and on. I haven't even touched on my temper and tone in which I sometimes correct them with.
I am not sure that finding time to make felt flowers will ease the guilt of our terribly unscheduled mealtimes.
So what will?
Accepting or believing that I am feeling guilty for ridiculous reasons or setting a better meal schedule.
So I process....
