[quote=Anonymous]I don’t really feel much mom guilt. I am good at this - not perfect, but good. With your example, I don’t mind having to say no to the big kids because something won’t work for the baby. They get an extra human in their life for forever! That’s cooler than a camping trip or whatever, though I never expect them to see it that way when they are kids. That’s such a short season - by the time the “baby” is five, they can keep up with anything (and most things by earlier). Or if I got a sitter, I would have though that it was nice for the baby to be the center of attention for a bit and get to do activities aimed at him, rather than tagging along to the siblings’ stuff all the time. I don’t know how I got this, except that my mom did a ton of therapy before kids and I think it really helped. It’s not my job to be perfect or make sure my kids never miss out on things. It’s my job to love them and teach them to be kind - the rest falls into place. [/quote]
