Doctor, I have Mommy Guilt! part 1

You know it's coming. You are preparing your bags to walk out the door. You try to avoid eye contact and you stealthily move about the house. And just when you thing you're home free, you hear it.

"You're leaving again?!?!?! Do you have to go?"  There it is! That overwhelming feeling that you're failing your child, not a good parent, focused too much on your career instead of your children.... No matter the exact thoughts that go through your head and heart, the feelings are still the same. Mommy guilt has struck again! 

On another note, why is there no phenomenon called 'Daddy Guilt'? Do most fathers know how to perfectly manage the feelings of caring for the family? And why don't they share that with us? Hmmmmmm....

Well, I have found some amazing quotes and images to help you deal with this.
