“I feel guilty. I feel guilty that we eat fast food occasionally, that we have cereal for dinner, that the pile of laundry is so big you can’t open the laundry room door, that my son slept in my room until he was three and we just this past weekend got his own clothes into his own closet into his own room. I feel guilty that I don’t do all the exercises the physical and speech therapist tell me to do with my second son or that we haven’t started teaching him sign language and he’s 8 months old! I feel guilty that my garden beds are overrun with weeds and that I used to read to my first son every night and now I’m lucky if I can read to him once or twice a week (when I think about it.) Why is there so much guilt? I know my house looks like everybody else’s. I know my family is doing great. I know we laugh together, we have fun and our needs are met. So where does all this guilt come from?”
