Topic 1 of 5 · Mom Guilt
Put the guiltdown.
I made up rules about being a good mom. You probably did too. I name mine, rip them up and keep what's true.
rule I made up:
A good mom feels guilty when she's away.
Ripped. The truth now:
I can miss them and love my work.
Every unwritten rule has a truer one underneath. Find yours.
what I believe
1
Love is the fact.
Guilt is a feeling that passes. Your love for your kids stays.
2
Choose new rules.
The old rules came from somewhere. You get to write better ones.
3
All of it belongs.
Rest, work and fun all belong in a good mom's day.
