'Guilt is the emotion I feel – and talk about – most often, without a doubt. I experience it so often, it’s now like a general humming in the background of my mind.' ✍️ sarahw0684 writes about how need to put a stop to mum guilt.
, she takes them swimming and to the park, she cooks for them, she does the most amazing arts and crafts and she sets the best example by being a working mum who also helps so many peopleAdmittedly, these things aren’t necessarily out of the ordinary. They’re what any good parent does. But she loves them, she cuddles them, she is there for them. They are her first thought and her first priority.
I’ve never quite understood the phrase ‘work like you’re not a parent, parent like you don’t work’.
And, as any mum will know, if you do reject the late meeting, or close down before you finish the feature, the guilt works the other way. You feel terrible for your colleagues, imagining they think you’re slacking off, or finishing early – no matter how many hours you work in the early morning or late in the evening to compensate for it.
And of course, it’s not only work that can bring on the mum guilt. Spending time away from them, their chocolate-to-vegetables ratio, how much television they watch… the list goes on.
