Does your DH feel guilty for being gone so long during the week?
In this instance, why does it matter what the DH feels? If the working mom thinks she will feel too guilty at time away at this point, that is just how she feels. Whether or not being away from baby bothers dad is a separate issue.
I hate when a woman expresses her sincere feelings about her kids and people try to turn it into either "DH is useless" or "if it doesn't bother the working man, it shouldn't bother you." People can't help their instincts. They can be given supportive messages like a lot of people feel that way, it's okay -but for all this hullabaloo about women owning their own lives, for pete's sake let the woman own her feelings.
