Mummy guilt

[Seaweedisaweed]

Hi everyone :)
I told my little girl off this evening for sticking her finger up her nose. Then when it was bedtime she wanted to play with me instead but I didn't engage with her and she fell asleep. Now I'm looking at her sweet baby face and I'm overwhelmed with guilt.
I'm thinking no wonder she loves her dad more, he doesn't tell her off and is very sweet to her. She screams, stamps and flips over with excitement when she sees him. I get a big smile and a hug but that's it.

Does it ever get better, this mummy guilt?

Never gets better - but your child is warm, loved, safe & fed. Tomorrow is another day. We've all been there - not engaging & then feeling heartbroken when they're asleep. All kids go through a daddy is better phase btw - it's because she's so secure with you! X

Thanks still trying xx
