I'm having my mom watch my kids.....

Question

this weekend and I'm going to a spa---but i'm feeling mommy-guilt, like I shouldn't go----should I feel bad about pampering myself?

Answer 1

no, its good for ur kids to realise ur not gonna be there 24/7 for them, u cant be by their side all day every day. I know how u feel, amazing sense of guilt and all u wanna do is cry cuz u feel what u have done or are going to do is wrong!!

U need some me time to relax and recuperate and then u can come back and be mummy again!!

your kids i'm sure will be perfectly safe and happy and wont even notice ur gone after the first 30 mins... it sounds like a long time but its not!

Every Mum need's her me time!  

Answer 2

u deserve it! and a happy and relaxed mommy is a better mommy--your kids are in great hands--relax and enjoy!

Answer 3

SADLY YES THOSE KIDS R YOUS NOT YOUR MOMS

SADLY AGAIN THE DAYS OF HAVING FUN ARE OVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE RESPONSIBILITIES NOW

                                  GOOD LUCK

Answer 4

I think this is a great idea.  Your kids need to bond with there grandparents too.  In addition, this will allow your kids to miss you and appreciate you.

Answer 5

Let's rephrase this. Do you deserve to spend all your waking moments in service to other people, with no time at all to devote to your own mental health? Should you sacrifice every ounce of your being to your children? Do you know what happens to people who do that?

Answer 6

Nope...but your feelings are completely normal!  We tend to live for our kids and hubbies and do for them without doing for ourselves.  You deserve it!  Your kids will have a great time!  Consider it a break for them as well!
