Question

I often feel guilty for things like this!! I have to remind myself (and look back at photos) to see that I actually do take her out often and she is happy haha 😅

All the time! I’m a FTM and am a introverted homebody and always feel guilty when my two year old has been inside most of the week 😂

Yes Girlie, my guilt goes beyond. I would like to do a lot more with and for my daughter.

I definitely had mom guilt but not anymore lol! She ALWAYS wants to go outside (outside is her favorite word at this point)… I learned that anything outside the door is fun and considered outside to her.. even if it’s to the store or mailbox I live in an apartment so times I don’t have the energy we literally just walk around the pool area or clubhouse then walk back up But I’m trying to get into the habit of taking her to the park every weekend

We just do short walks around the yard if we can’t make it to the park or too tired to go that far. Short stroller walks to the laundry room and running in the grass. Simple, short outside time for everyone 💛

Yes. But I'm also pregnant so some days I just physically stomach it. But I try... I get the guilt about a lot of things though. I think we're hard on ourselves at times we forget we deserve grace or relaxation as well. Don't forget to give yourself grace. 💗

Yess, it’s a real feeling but like someone else said give yourself grace. We’re doing our best!!

Eh rarely. And that's because we have a big backyard with chickens and fruit that can be collected right now. There's a lot to explore and do in our yard. I like bringing him away from the home just to get a new experience but at the same time I people at work and I don't want to people on my days off. I don't want to think about people outside my immediate family group

I’m so happy this is a topic right now cause it’s guilt I’ve dealt with since my daughter could walk! At 11 months, she’s 22 months now. But I agree with San. My daughter literally always wants to go and be outside. We have a pretty good backyard, but oh my gosh the heat is getting worse and worse here in Texas, so sometimes I just can’t. Or I wait for the evening to take her out. But I also have to look back at my camera roll like Madison said. To remind myself that we do take her eeeeeverywhere outside of the house and I have her do so many activities here at home too (mostly coloring or painting)

Sometimes. I took her to the park yesterday and of course she had a meltdown when we were leaving so it reminded me that while I do try to get her out, I also know why I don’t. Her dad takes her out on the weekends and she goes outside at daycare so I don’t feel too bad.
