Mam guilt
I have mega mam guilt because I’ve just signed my daughter (14 months) up for nursery, she will be attending on a Friday and then in April it will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, however I don’t work Mondays so I thought I’d put her in for a few hours so she can gain more skills etc but now I’m sat feeling guilty because I could be spending time with her on a Monday instead of having a few hours to myself but then at the same time I get a few hours to do house work and hobbies… is anyone else in the same boat? Does the guilt go away?

I felt the same, it has eventually lessened now though. My daughter has a lot of fun and she's always coming home with new skills that she might not have learnt at home.
Think the balance is healthy it can be tough but it is socialisation for them and crucial self care time for you just remember the guilt is what we're doing to ourselves and our babies want to see us truly happy and sometimes that is having time to recharge

I'm the same with my 20m old, she starts her visits on Friday
