Letting go of the Mom GUilt

I tend to feel #momguilt a lot...

- for not being more present at home 👧🏻👦🏻
- for not working more 🥼
- for yelling too much at the kids
- for giving in and spoiling them
- for needing alone time
- for saying no
- for asking for help
- for spending too much 🛍
- for being too stingy...

Why? Because I have an image in my head of what an ideal mother, doctor, wife, friend, person SHOULD be. And any time I fall short, I feel the guilt. 💔

But the truth is - NO ONE can live up to an ideal. Certainly not all the things all at the same time.

So I've realized that I need to make the choices that are best for ME, not what I (or others) think I SHOULD do or be.

So if I need some alone time, get some extra help with the kids, or say no to a friend, so be it. And I need to learn not to feel bad and let the guilt get to me...
