Guilty or not guilty?

Comment Published at 15:0915:092 comments2 comments117 Visits117 VisitsReport

Today I got about an two hours outside of the house by myself. This kind of time is special because it does not include the cubicle walls or the computer.

I had to go to a used bookstore and taking Fuller there would have been a nightmare. So D agree to stick at home with Fuller, during his break from working in the attic.

I went to the store with a specific type of book in mind but they were completely out. As is always the case with that store I ended up browsing and browsing and browsing. When I discovered how long I had been there I panicked because I felt guilty leaving D with Fuller that long.

D is with Fuller all week which is why I felt it was an imposition for me to ask him to use his break time to be with Fuller. He didn't really have a problem with it, but I still felt guilty.

I shouldn't have felt guilty, I know I need the time to myself, but it really bothers me. I thought I had conquered this guilt thing. Who knew I would feel guilty leaving my son with his father?

The other point of view.

As a mom on the other side of the fence (I'm a stay at home mom), I have also felt guilty when I hand over my son to to my husband. He's been working his butt off and here I am handing him our little one.  This is normal to feel guilty, but take the opportunity and return the favor and everyone wins.   My husband and I have agreed that on certain nights, he will put our son to bed and be the one to run up to him when he cries. During my nights off, it's really up to me what I want to do. But there are days when it's not my turn with our son that I really just need to take a breather and my husband is kind enough to take over.

Thanks, I am glad I am not the only one who deals with that guilt thing.
