#momsmadness# Amidst work and Mumbai's endless travel, I just get to tick mark to-do's with my kid, I don't get to spend quality time with her and do all the interesting things I hear other mothers doing with their kids. I feel very guilty.

May be u can pre decide some activities for ur off, which should keep you and your child happy... There are many activities for kids around and am sure you would get a bit time to do it... It would also keep you away from the guilt that should have

I'm a work from home mom, and I get to spend a lot of time with my girls...
But my husband works for really odd times, he leaves for work at 11 and comes back post 12...i have learnt something really beautiful from him...
I spite of his work schedule he spends good quality time wd our girls, at night wn he is back the girls cuddle him and sleep...
In d morning he gets up early, gives them a back n gets the elder one ready for school.. On his offs I c him spending half a day just with them, n d later half we all hang out with frnds...
I don't knw if I were him, I would have been able to do so much...
Knowing the fact that u are a working Mom, I feel u shud first stop comparing urself with others...
It's all about spending quality time... Quantity doesn't matter to the little ones...
The memories that u r creating with the little time you have, is all that matters...
You are doing great... And that's the only truth...

your first step should be stop watching what other mothers are doing. people do a lot and every mother is different. your target everyday should be to spend some quality time with your child - may be talking, may be huging, may be just a simple sploshy splashy bath, may be just a nasty messy meal time together... that is quality time. someone rightly said, our child is not our trophy that we set out to show others. every mom and child bond is different, don't let Facebook groups and other mothers guide you as to 'how it's done'.
you love your child? your child loves you back? at the end of the day you feel satisfied with how much love you have with you? that's all.

just remove some items from the to-do.
as much as the to-dos help us they create a boundry n give us a false sense of satisfaction....
a basic time management trick.... put duration in front of each item on your to - do u will not end up putting too much on a day's plate
