[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt less pressure to be my child's "whole world" when I was a SAHM. Yes, we had lots of quality 1:1 time playing and reading together. But mostly she just tagged along with me while I did regular adult things like cooking and running errands and working in the yard and fixing stuff around the house. It wasn't some oppressive, intensive parenting endeavor. I think if you are feeling bad about how much time you do or do not spend with your kid, that's your problem to address how you see fit, not to get angry that others have found a balance that works for them.[/quote] So true. The moment I transitioned from being a SAHM from a WOHM, my guilt disappeared. I spend enough quality and quantity time with my kids to worry about where I am failing. I think as a WOHM you constantly feel overwhelmed. [/quote]
