Everyday I basically feel aimless and guilty about everything I do all day and I think its because I didn't have a stay at home parent growing up so I don't know what the daily norms are. I'm always anxious about what I SHOULD be doing no matter what I'm doing. It would help alot if I could get some perspective of what's normal and what isn't.
Also I'm pregnant so I'm tired, often feeling sick and less playful with my 2 year old than before, so that has been adding another layer of guilt.
It also doesn't help that my husband's mother was a sahm and she had 7 kids, homeschooled all of them, made home-cooked meals with no msg everyday, and they never had sugar cereal or watched much TV. Her husband helped her 0. It was also her choice to have 7! And to homeschool. Her husband wanted to stop after 4 and wanted the kids to go to school but she argued and got her way instead. She chose way more work!!!! I feel I'll never measure up to her. Is this normal? I have tons of help from my husband and still don't accomplish as much as she did.
