Mom Guilt

I'm sure most of you moms out there have this...the guilt of working and possibly missing out on those "mom moments." I work part-time, but I still have the occasional feelings of oh-crap-i'm-a-horrible-mom-'cause-i-work-outside-the-home. A few weeks ago, my son was really close to walking by himself. I was determined for him not to walk for the first time at day care and thus bring upon some of this guilt. So one of the days I stay home with the kiddos, we practiced until he walked. And it worked. I know it was really selfish, but I wanted to see the first walk. I love to watch him walk around the house looking like a drunk sailor, giggling because he's walking by himself.
