Mum guilt

Does anyone else get constant, ridiculous mum guilt over literally everything? I feel guilty over the smallest things like if I leave a softplay early I’ll feel horrendous about it for the rest of the day. My worst one at the minute is that we’re having a little boy in April, at first I was absolutely over the moon but now I just feel guilty that I haven’t given my daughter a sister as I have 2 sisters and it’s an incredible bond. It’s like I can’t ever win & I question every single decision I make

I’m sure your little girl will love a little brother doesn’t matter that it isn’t a girl - I have 2 younger brothers and grew up with a close connection with them even though I would’ve loved a sister I know they both look out for me even though I’m the eldest x

I grew up with 2 younger brothers and we are all very close they both look out for me even tho I'm the oldest I get ridiculous mum guilt too like if I go out and leave her with my partner I feel so bad for leaving her and going out I think its just part of being a parent

The guilt comes over the weirdest things I have both a sister and two brothers and I’m close to all. I actually get along with my brother more than my sister and there’s a much bigger age gap between us.

I have mom guilt over everything. My husband tells me almost every day that I'm too hard on myself. On Saturday, I fell down the stairs with my 6 month old in my arms. My husband made sure our LO was ok, I went into the kitchen to cry. I wasn't crying in pain, but because my baby was crying in shock. I felt terrible that I caused her to cry that much. I didn't even care that I was hurt

i experience mom guilt hella, but something someone told me that helps me cope, bad moms dont feel guilty
