I am suffering from a huge dose of "mommy guilt" these days. I'm working from home which is proving to be much more trying than I had anticipated. Perhaps I was naive to believe that I could do it all--watch My Little Man (MLM), take care of the home, and work part-time. Sorry sister. You don't have superpowers. Instead, I feel like I'm doing each job substandard, making me a bad mommy, a bad homeowner and a bad employee.
To alleviate my mommy-guilt symptom, I'm now on the hunt for a "mommy helper." Someone who can come in to watch MLM while I work or get other things accomplished. This is going to be a good thing, because I am certainly running out of tricks to perform. MLM is at this rough age (20 months now) where he's no longer amused by baby toys and games and is just grasping toddler activities. His oral fixation has turned into biting and eating dirt. Oh, did I mention that my dog has taken a fancy to his diaper, leaving me to clean up shredded pieces of it off the floor while MLM laughs his naked butt off? Like is said, getting some much needed help is a good thing. I will have some peace of mind knowing that MLM is getting the interaction he deserved and I'll get some peace and quiet to do a job of which I can be proud.
