Sometimes it helps just to hear that others "get it" -- in the end, I'm trying to just make the best decisions for my family and not miss out on what is most important or the time I can't get back no matter how much money I have.

For my husband and I, living on a shoestring budget for several years has made it a non-issue to pile lots of STUFF on our kids, but then we've had to deal with the guilt associated with NOT giving them piles of stuff. It's hard to move beyond the idea that good parents give their kids things / spend lots of money on them (like extracurricular activities or camps, and so on). It's good to know (and remember) that the time I spend being with them, being their mother, is more valuable than anything else I could have given them. Thanks again for a thought-provoking post. :) .-= Rachael´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/antithete/~3/_dvpk_8hTQs/" rel="nofollow">I’m Feeling All Random Today</a> =-.

I have two boys under three and finding moments of productivity is really difficult. This means there is often a lot of guilt on my part for when I don't get 'enough' done. But you're too right, being the best parent I can be is pretty damned important and counts for a lot .-= Amy´s last blog ..<a href="http://sandandsilkdesigns.com/2009/07/26/coming-soo/" rel="nofollow">Coming Soon!</a> =-.
