What is Mom's Guilt?

Mom's guilt is a common emotion that many working mothers experience. 

It's a complex emotion that can arise for various reasons, such as the feeling of not being present enough for your children, the struggle to balance work and family, or the constant comparisons with other moms. This internal battle can leave you questioning if you're doing enough and measuring up to the expectations of motherhood.

Others shared their struggles, with one person writing, "Please don't feel guilty about anything. You and your heart know how much you love your baby as a mother. This guilt made me lose my career, but anyways, if I take it positively for myself, I don't feel bad. It made me feel good to see them growing as beautiful humans. You are an amazing soul. Go ahead without guilt, and when you are with your family, give it 100 percent, which I'm sure you must be doing. Good luck, dear."
