[quote=Anonymous]I don’t second guess my choices about small things (like the babysitter/hike example OP posted). I think I would echo what many PPs have said: my kid has so many more advantages than I did and I have a great life! I also have a very supportive husband who says thanks to me for making homemade baby food but also reminds me (nicely) that spinach purée isn’t going to fundamentally make my life better. In addition to him, many of my friends have similar priorities (working outside of the home, for example), so I look about the same in comparison. I think a lot of this “guilt” is about social circle. When someone is doing something “better” for their kid, I try to ask them questions to see if I want to try it too or I just think “well, it’s cool my kid got to go to a party with a magician even though I will never hire a magician for a kids party!”[/quote]
