[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of it is hormonal and emotional.  Some women seem to have this innate mom guilt that’s likely hard to squash.

I do not have mom guilt at all and don’t seem that different from my husband.  I enjoy my job, don’t get my entire identity from my kids and enjoy doing things without my kids.  I have hobbies and interests just like I did pre kids.  Also don’t have any issues sleep training or potty training kids.  The moms on here who have kids who don’t sleep seem unhinged.  I don’t understand why they just don’t put their kids to bed and go back in the morning.  If my kid screamed all night, I would leave for a hotel until it stopped.

Whereas I have some friends who really struggle to leave their kids and can’t even return to work.  They always have an excuse as to why they can’t return to work and it seems emotional instead of logical.  They really want to be with their kids.  I give them credit for deeply loving this time with their kids but at the same time, don’t know their kids will be any better off having a mom who doesn’t work or have a life outside of the home.  Don’t also think their kids are any better off sleeping in 2 hour increments because they haven’t been taught to sleep at night.  [/quote]
