[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. My kids are not left outside because I forget to pick them up. I mean they are outside of home for long hours daily. One kid's beforecare is 7am to 8:40am & aftercare is 3:25pm to 6:30pm. One kid's beforecare is 7am to 9am & aftercare is 3pm to 6pm. They are at different schools, and I do separate drop off /pickup. I drop off one kid around 8am & another kid around 8:30am. I pick up one kid right before 6pm and another kid before 6:20am. We don't use the full hours for beforecare hours. I still have to work at nighttime or on weekend for a few hours.

I sometimes see that SAHM neighbor doing gardening, walking kids to bus stop or chilling in front of her front porch in the mornings. I sometimes see her hanging around at front porch by herself or with kids when we get home. We can see their house from our window, like 20 steps away, so close to each other. We have one same age kid going to same school. Maybe she thinks I am a bad mom. The high energy kid loves beforecare/aftercare and summer camps. The low energy kid probably is better off with less activities and would not mind staying longer time at home. [/quote]

You are your of own worst enemy.  The SAHM has never said a word to you, yet you can read her mind about what she thinks if you.  This is your guilt oozing out.[/quote]

Op thinks maybe the SAHM Neithbor thinks she is a bad mom. Sounds more like OP thinks herself as a bad mom. Neighbor seems to just be doing her own thing.

I see people walking their dog, going on a walk, gardening. Their working status never crossed my mind. This is OP’s insecurity. [/quote]
