I’m currently hiding at my in laws. The food is horrible as per but I’m also feeling some mom guilt. I have Thursday and Friday off but am still sending C to daycare. I’ve been battling big time depressed and anxiety over the past year and know I’ll need time to sleep and regroup from all of the togetherness. My SIL half heartedly complained that she is off and has both of her girls. Then she added “but I take time off to spend..” and realized how that was sounding and stopped. I brushed it off but I’m feeling a bit down that I’m not the mom that wants to take time off to spend with her kid. I obviously love him but it doesn’t make sense to me since he has more fun at daycare and I enjoy being alone. Logically I know I’m not a shit mom but damn sometimes I feel it. It’s ok that she is different. Isn’t this the helicopter SIL who can’t chill when her kid is um... walking? Lol. Sometimes you have to put yourself first in order to be better for your child. I’m definitely just like you in that I need that break- mentally and emotionally. I feel guilty about it too, but I find that I’m more on edge and snappy with the kids when I don’t take that time. I try not to mellow in that guilt. Hope you can move past it and enjoy the rest of the holiday. You have two alone days to look forward to! All of this. I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, but glad you know you’re a good mom. And also happy you know what you need so you can continue to be at your best.
