When debating the merits of working versus not working, I have come to the realization that neither is the perfect solution. No matter which combination of mothering and working you choose, you are missing something, struggling with something and/or possibly feeling guilty about something. Having spoken to both working and stay at home moms, I have noticed that mom-guilt weighs heavily on the decision to work or not to work. I want to preface this post with the idea that it is not about judging the choices other mothers have made, but rather about sharing my story because I have lived “on both sides of the fence” and understand some of the pro’s and con’s to this complicated issue.
Take the full trip down memory lane with us…
