I don’t really have too many feelings of guilt but one of my major ones that I deal with constantly is having the urge to work on my passions in terms of creating a business more regularly and I simply reason that as of now my family particularly my little ones are the priority and when they’re at an age where they’re out of the toddlerhood stage and are a bit more independent at 4 and older. I think that that would be a better time for me to engage in doing something that like that

I tell myself that everything happens for a reason 🤣

If it's something I'm able to I also talk about it with my kids. Make sure they aren't having big feelings about it if it's an appropriate topic.

I identify the issue, talk to my kids and I try to do better with whatever it is. Like my lack of time I've had while working and going to school- I started doing mom/daughter or mom/son dates once a month, alternating with each child the following month. This way we get some quality one on one time and something to look forward to.

Cry and therapy. I carry a lot of guilt with my first son.

@Violeta💕 some people think crying does nothing, but it really does help relieve some stress
