Home Parenting and Guilt

Guilt is one of the natural by-products of being a parent since every parent strongly feels that they should do their absolute best for their children and even when they have done their best, they still feel that that is not enough and that they should have done better. We shall discuss here some of the special guilt issues specific to stay-at-home parents. This is a dilemma of home parenting that has plagued the minds of many parents.


Quality vs Quantity
 
Although as stay-at-home parents many spend a lot of time with their children, still parents do feel that they are still guilty of not spending enough quality time with their children. Just because they are with their kids all day, they still feel that they need to read more books for them, talk more to them and play more games with them. Most parents feel this way at times and will do all they can to spend quality time with their children to relieve the added pressure.
 
Housecleaning
 
There is a wrong notion that since the parent is home all day, she can always maintain the house spick and span. This is however a wrong notion because the children are all there to make a mess of things and it would be a hard time getting the house in order. The kids will mess them. This is one issue of home parenting that you need to be aware of.
 
Money Issues
 
Just because they don't have the extra cash, parents do feel guilty if they cannot accommodate the requests of their children; if she is unable to buy a pair of Nike soccer boots that her nine-year old needs, or unable to enroll the children in karate or soccer classes.
 
Anger
 
Parents feel bad when they blow up with their kids but this is inevitable since they are all together throughout the day. It is only natural that children can drive them nuts.
 
The Internet
 
As a stay-at-home mom, in order to stay connected to the outside world, the only refuge is the internet. Some moms are totally addicted to the internet. They make cyber friends with whom they enjoy chatting with or exchanging emails. This sometimes makes them feel guilty for spending time on the internet rather than with their children. These are just one of the dilemmas of home parenting faced by parents today.
