Cheating?

[theatokos]

Bennett is finally big enough (10lbs!!) and stable enough for the swing. This allows for longer, steadier naps, which mean that I can get more done. Rationally, it seems like a win-win situation.

So why does it feel like cheating? Where in the world does this irrational guilt come from?

motherhood brings so much guilt, it's insane.

Using the swing isn't cheating - it's a tool in a Mom's tool box. I just make sure Henry has lots of cuddle time to make up for any time spent in the swing (or any other time spent out of our arms).
