What is your mom guilt? Mine is that I am not an activity-driven mom. I do not have Luna signed up for tons of classes, events or feel the need to get out of the house every day. I prefer a slow parenting approach, and I do not thrive in chaos.
One of my mom friends is the complete opposite of me, her and the kids are out and about almost on the daily. If there is a kid-friendly event, she usually knows about it, and is the first to sign up. It used to make me feel guilty to see her social media feed, but then I came to the realization that is not who I am. Forcing myself to be that kind of mom, is not going to make me a better mom. We both have fantastic qualities as moms, and are kids are thriving no matter what.
This is my mom mantra, and every time guilt creeps in I repeat it to myself, and it works wonders in reminding me to do things my way.
