I am constantly feeling guilty for not being with the kids more, not keeping the house perfect, not being able to fulfill my church obligations, the list goes on and on. I really appreciate your insight and suggestions. One additional thing I thought I would mention is that I just recently read a great book titled, <a href="http://www.escapingtoxicguilt.com/" rel="nofollow"> "Escaping Toxic Guilt," </a> by Susan Carrell. Susan Carrell has so many helpful tools to understanding my guilt as a parent. I now feel more calm about things, and realize that I can't do everything. If the kids don't turn in their homework, have a fight with a friend, I now realize that it is not my fault. I am a wife and mother of 3 and work at least 50 hours per week.
