Not true! I’m a good mom (as far as I can tell; jury is out til they’re adults, really). I don’t feel guilt about things like this. Some people are just more guilt-prone than others. Presence or absence of guilt isn’t what makes someone a good parent.

I'm not saying that people who don't feel guilt are bad moms. I'm saying that a person who is a bad mom probably doesn't feel guilt.

That's not true either. Plenty of people do something they know is wrong often, but can't help themselves. The two just aren't related.

Agree to disagree.

Ok, I will. Sorry for making the thread off-track.
