Top 7 mommy guilt trips

Taken from babycenter via Cts blogs.

1. Feeding your baby formula

Huhu..big guilt for Muaz since i was only able to fully BF dia until 8mths. then i got pregnant with Nadrah + tgh mabuk + bulan pose + berat turun sampai 5kg!... resulting in susu kering. However, After i delivered Nadrah, Muaz got to drink my EBM back, until he was 2 years old! :)

For Nadrah - still fully BF, except for 2 weeks masa kena denggi hari tu, campur sekejap - stock habis. Hopefully i can continue this...
2. Using TV as a babysitter
Err.. muaz layan gak tv, for the first 5-10 min kot! So, not much guilt.
3. Being environmentally unfriendly
We are trying: 1. teach them to recycle. 2. using cloth diapers - nadrah ok, muaz tak blh... bocor!. but still not all the time. whenever convinient, usually during weekends.

4. Feeding your kids junk food
errr.. the kids call it "kopok". yes, we do give, especially when they asked for it. huhu... maybe need to cutdown on this.
5. Leaving your child with another caregiver
this is my biggest guilt!. I am trying, believe me, so hard to improve this. hopefully in another 3 years kot.. insyaAllah.
6. Yelling at your kids
Last weekend, i yelled at muaz, bile i dah marah, i'll stop and suheimy took over.. i went to shower and ambil wudhuk. huhu... we rarely yelled at our kids. Marah, kena la marah, tp tak perlula tinggikan suara kot...huhu.. kena byk2 ngaji kot, baru la dpt sabar. (this is me, telling or rather menasihatkan myself).
7. Not being able to afford all the extras
well, define extra. i think our kids have all the extra loves that we can give them. extra toys? we try. extra baju? sederhana is better. well, i guess no guilt on this. i just wish we have extra time to spend with them.
 
how about you guys? :)
