[quote=Anonymous]What would you say to a friend that came to you with these concerns? I like to play that game sometimes, and give myself the same pep talk that I would give my friend. Like, "You are an incredible mom, holding down the fort while your DH is gone. It's not easy!" "It's so great that you take some time for yourself. You deserve some time, too." "How wonderful to be able to let your kids run around outside all day. They will have years and years in the classroom. You're letting them be free and explore. Nothing is better than play and being outside at that age." It turns out we're a lot nicer to our friends than we are to ourselves most of the time. Trying on that perspective may help.[/quote]
