Guilt and Parenthood

That was the topic in our parent-baby class yesterday. I would never have fully understand it had I not had a child myself. We each got to share what we were feeling guilty about that day and it brought up some interesting conversations. Some examples were going back to work, not doing as much around the house, not spending enough time with baby, giving them shots, putting them in daycare, etc. Then we discussed how to change our ways of thinking so that we don't have to feel guilty about all these things. Of course it doesn't mean the guilt will go away completely (or ever for that matter) but it made us feel better for the moment :)
