Mom Guilt

Today I asked my husband to take the babies and middle girls to my mom’s since it’s her day to babysit. Which he did for me.

Why do I feel guilty for it??

Why do I feel like I inconvenienced him in some way because he had to take HIS kids to my mom’s for her to babysit?

Why is guilt such a hard thing when you are a mom!!!

I wanted to get into work as early as possible for a meeting. Which meant either waking up super early and getting the kids to my mom’s super early (which she would not really want). Or I would be late. Or the 3rd (guilt-ridded) option, have hubby take them.

How many of you moms feel guilty when dad does something for the kids that you normally do??

Every. single. day I get up- take the big girls to their separate schools, get the little girls up (which includes multiple trips into their rooms to wake them), make sure that their hair is not a complete disaster, they have decent clothes on and shoes, coats, masks and bookbags for school. I get the babies dressed, make sure the diaper bag is packed and that they have their coats on. Monday through Friday, this is what I do. Not to mention, load two babies up in the car and unload them and get them into my mom’s or back home. What does he do every morning? Get up and go to work. ( I am sure some mornings there is more in between getting up and going to work hahaha).

I should not feel guilty because he is doing something as a father.

Why should moms always be the main caretaker of everything for kids? Why can’t dad do things once in a while without mom feeling guilty?

I Refuse To Feel Guilty.
