Self imposed guilt trip!
Does anyone else occasionally get the worse case of guilt ever about something you've done or not done for your little one?
We were invited to a retirement do today an hour and a half away. Off we went at 9am and we didn't get back til 6. She had a crying episode during dinner, so I went outside with her. Then she started crying again during the speeches so hubby took her outside and sat in the car for a bit. I then took over and fed her in the car.
But then I was paranoid I was a bad mum for dragging her out for so long, letting her cry for 15 mins, being out in the cold and anything else I could possibly think of! Came home and cried. Was still upset this morning and paranoid she'd caught a chill by being in the cold.
Not feeling 100% myself so think that hasn't helped my state of mind. Just writing this down has helped too! And breathe! Xx

I constatnly feel guilty about one thing or another. Guilt if we go out for the day and guilt if we stay in.
My latest guilt trip is that lo sleeps 6-7 hours at nighth and that means he is in the same nappy for that time, I was worried that I should be changing it in the night!!! I quickly talked myself out of it.
All my mummy friends say that feeling guilty is part of their daily lives now so I have to get used to it haha!!!
