The Mom-Guilt List

If you’re a mom who doesn’t suffer from mom guilt then I applaud you. Better yet, I raise a glass of wine to you. You have managed to not go BaNaNaS, you’ve Found Balance and inner peace. Cheers.

If you’re like the rest of us you’re just a hot mess hoping to get through the day. Like there aren’t enough things to worry about, here’s why our brains go a mile a minute:

1. Does my kid have matching socks?
2. Did I remember to pack lunches?
3. Wait, who’s picking the Chiquita up?
4. I forgot to take a Xanax today, God help us.
5. If I catch this red light I will be late to work.
6. Sh*t, peed through the diaper and no time for a bath. WIPES rule!
7. Did I let the dog out?
8. Did I feed the dog?
9. Does the dog have water?
10. Did my kid have water?
11. When was the last time I had sex with my husband?
12. Why am I up from 2 am to 4 am?
13. What the hell are we going to have for dinner? Sandwiches.
14. My car is on E, please let me get to ______ (wherever I’m rushing to)
15. Am I bad mom because I _______ (whatever dumb thing I did today)
16. Keeping up with the Kardashians or Barney? Kardashians. Sorry.
17. Diapers or new heels? Damn diapers.
18. When was the last “Girls Night” I made it to?
19. Have I really been reading ______ (insert book) for a year?
20. I had no idea those shoes were too small. Squished toes. Oops.

And what about Dad-Guilt? Do dad’s ever feel guilty? Hahahahahahaha
