Does guilt go hand in hand with being a parent?

[Coffeeessential]

Since having my daughter 8 years ago, I am constantly worrying about the kind of parent I am and whether I am doing the best for her...in fact, I seem to spend most of my time feeling guilty for something or other. My greatest fear is her turning to me as an adult and telling me I have done a bad job.
My husband doesn't worry and feel guilty like this - he just gets on with it! Does anyone else spend their lives feeling guilty? And does it ever go away?

YES!! Frankly!
Guilt guilt guilt guilt at every turn!

I think its because you care so much about doing it all right.

General rule of thumb for me in my head is that i am doing a good job if i am not doing anything that my parents did .

Not too that extent, moments every now and then.

I subscribe to the 'good enough' parenting idea plus someone in America, Shermer? who ways that within a given range of normal parenting i.e. not abusive, your children will turn out fine. Try to feel less guilty, take a lead from your DH and enjoy it more.

I feel guilty a lot too.

Especially for DD1 who I had with my ex. So DD2 has her mum and dad together but DD1 gets shipped off two nights a week to an utter prick. I worry she feels left out or that she doesnt know I love her or that she doesnt see how hard Im trying to give her a good life.

I don't really, and when I do, it's just fleeting. I am only human - thats what I will tell their psychologists!

I think they are shaped more than by just me and as long as I'm in the good area, which most parents are, then that's fine.

Only on the rare occasions when I am going out on a jolly and he doesn't want me to.

Other stuff I don't have a choice about.
