  • WOHM guilt: I have started to think that feeling this guilt is useless...although I think it will never go away, I am starting to think to myself that I have a full time job, am sucessful, am the breadwinner, have a nanny, etc. If I just start to accept t e situation for what it is then I think I can live a little more "free"...my 14 mo old dd is thriving and is just the best. ok, thanks for listening, gals.

    • the guilt is useless! It is good and healthy for kids to have more than one caregiver, as long as all of them are good.

      • thanks, I have been thinking about this alot this week. What good does it do my situation by feeling this terrible guilt? I am not saying that I am going to turn into a cold hearted stone, but at least I can focus on other things....i know you guys unders tand this and to be honest it is kind of liberating!
