Somedays i feel so guilty that I am a full time teacher. My days are spent educating other people's children. When I get home at 5 oclock with my kids, i realize how much I missed with them. My poor boys. I feel so guilty that I am not there. I feel like I am missing out and they are missing out. I absolutely love what I do but wish the days were shorter. I work in a Charter school and have a full day with the kids; 7:50-4:15. It is a long day. It is very hard to balance work and home in a single 24 hour period.

I was a working mom when my kids were growing up. I worked Monday to Friday from 8am to 4:30pm. I always felt like I missed out on so much of their lives. I know how you feel because I had that guilty feeling too. Being a working mom is hard.

I'm sorry. =( I worked for a few years outside of the home and I didn't get home until 6pm usually. I hated how much I missed my kids. My husband didn't need me to work anymore, thank God so now I am blessed to be home with my kids. I babysit from home now to help make ends meet and that helps. =)

I feel the same way like you do. But some one has to earn a living here. At least with the money we earn, we can provide them with nice toys/clothes...

My mom is a teacher. When were growing up she was always busy. But she made it up to us every weekends and holidays.
