A detached, overwhelmed, trapped mom who is at home (I know, I've been one)is no better than an absent during the day mom. The absent one will tend to make the weekends, and nights more engaging and meaningful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20596393.post-15255543701498948092007-10-10T13:53:00.000-05:002007-10-10T13:53:00.000-05:00I focus on the long term.

But I have very good memories of things we did together as a family: trips we took, cookouts with friends and so on. As long as I'm building in quality time with Daniel every day and special things a few times a month, I figure it'll all wash out.mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11926041307932882862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20596393.post-27632968889759921782007-10-09T18:47:00.000-05:002007-10-09T18:47:00.000-05:00My youngest is upset that I can't stay at home wit...My youngest is upset that I can't stay at home with him when he is out of school. Not only that, I can't even manage to go on any field trips or attend many events he is involved in because of my job. It does get old after a while. Thank goodness my husband has a different type of employer who does allow him the time to attend these things. Sometimes I feel like I am caught between trying to provide a better education for him, and missing everything he is doing because of the better paying job. How do you handle the guilt?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
