From the opposite perspective, I stayed home for three years and just went back part time this year. So I am struggling with the same things you are, but as a stay at home mom, I found myself cleaning the house, doing laundry, makings lists, etc. Was that the reason I was staying home?? NO! I wish I were the kind of mommy who could sit and color all day, make countless railroad tracks, etc, but I found that I can't do that all day everyday, so I wasn't doing them a service by being home 100% of the time. When I really reflect on this, now that I am working in the afternoons, the time I have with them is more meaningful, and I honestly think I spend the same amount of time "playing" with them before. Do not beat yourself up. Those boys love you like no one else, and I haven't seen a more attentive, loving and caring mother than you. I pray that you find peace about this subject. . .hey, and when you do, send a little my way :)Christen Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883979580434374630.post-53298221096644607622010-02-11T09:36:17.750-06:002010-02-11T09:36:17.750-06:00Oh T! You stress to much. You work so that your ...Oh T! You stress to much. You work so that your kids can have a better life. So that you can take them to nice places. Do we ALL wish we could win the lottery and stay home all day and play with our kids? YES!! But guess what we live in the real world! You are a great MOMMY. Your kids love you so much more than you realize. Don't stress about it, just make the moments you are with them good. NOT GREAT, because you can't make every moment great. Discipline, structure and play time are all a part of LOVE. You don't put your job first, you have a job BECAUSE you put your kids and family first. Don't stress love, really, just let it go and know that this plan for you is what you are meant to do.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09514698276539363976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1883979580434374630.post-27033943712179374042010-02-10T11:13:34.513-06:002010-02-10T11:13:34.513-06:00I felt the same way a little over a year ago.

He will take you where you are supposed to be.<br /><br />But guess what? That guilt thing isn't going away. Funny thing about loving your family so much is that whatever you do, it is never enough. Consider it a good thing! That's a lot of love!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
