I think you have to do what is best for your family and avoid comparing your situation to others. Women definitely need to support other women and not be so judgmental.

We're all good mothers. As a SAHM there are times I am so jealous of working moms, and times that I think I'm so thankful to be home with my kids. There are positives and negatives to both choices! I have noticed when meeting a new mom I find myself defending my choice to be home all while she's defending her choice to work. We're both so busy defending ourselves unnecessarily that we aren't taking the time to encourage and support each other!<br /><br />Keep being a good mama! Stay proud of YOUR choice to raise your family in the best way you can. Let go of mommy guilt. :) Kayleigh @ Sugar in My Texas Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450749808064128502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3198329790384321520.post-62739019748664794692015-07-19T05:55:35.531-07:002015-07-19T05:55:35.531-07:00You are definitely right Katy.

And I find that it's unfortunate, but women tend to be worse at it than men. We can't possibly know what's going on in someone else's head or life that led them to the decisions they make. Even if you didn't need to work for financial reasons, if you're a mom and choose to work, I say good for you! Honestly, it's good to set a good example for your child and to allow her time on her own. It's very healthy.

It's a constant struggle between paying attention to my son and giving my 100% at work as well. I work structured 40 hours a week without much flexibility. I think either way moms feel guilt. I'm so glad that you were able to find that happy balance be comfortable with what your life called for. Kudos to you mama!
