I don’t feel Guilty..AT ALL
About Tracy
My name is Tracy Morrison and I live in sunny Minnesota. I'm neither British nor a nun - I'm just a Midwesterner with a headache. This is mainly a humor and lifestyle blog that documents the lighter side of parenting. I am an ex-corporate ladder climber turned freelance writer, social media manager, and fashion expert - and ruler of my own little universe(very small). Aren't we all. I would love for you to contact me at tracy@sellabitmum.com

Oh, you have a much better handle on the mommy guilt than I do! You just showed it who’s boss! For what it’s worth, I think it sounds like you have the perfect blend of schedule and non-schedule. Good luck this summer! I’ll need the same!

Absolutely, ditto! Really, you have hit the nail on the head for exactly how I feel about this summer! Hope that y’all enjoy yours immensely & that the “I’m boreds!” are few & far between in your household & mine!

Fully agree with you on all counts. Kids need to learn self entertainment. And, structure is good. I used to have “quiet time” in the afternoons when my kids were younger. Even if you were too old for a nap, you still lied on your bed and read books. Moms need some alone time to think their own thoughts. I used to get so worn out of being talked to all day. I’m not looking forward to a full house all summer either. Hopefully, everyone will find plenty to do.

Way funny, and I am 100% with you as YESTERDAY was Caroline’s last day of pre-school………..today summer began for us with a chilly and rainy day, nice, huh? She is a great little girl, but entertaining herself is NOT one of her strong points, and, like you, I am not big on playing/pretend games/etc. I can’t wait until Sydney is old enough…….they WILL play together, right? RIGHT?!?! lol I’m counting on that over the next few years…………Good luck with everything; sounds like you have a good schedule worked out

You are my hero! I admit that as much as I love my girls, I don’t like to “play”. I could sit and watch my girls in awe and adoration for hours. But the moment they want me to play with them, ugh, no.
My husband is much better than me, subjecting himself to getting his toenails painted and his hair done. =)
I was an only child and don’t remember my parents playing with me much, in fact I remember it was lonely at times. I was so thrilled to have two girls close in age, so that they could be friends as well and play together! Sadly, it doesn’t often work that way.
My dad was working on a full summer schedule of activity for the girls and for some odd reason I asked him not to overload us. I guess I had images of us doing fun things together. But 3 days into vacation and I’m ready for the activities to start. LOL!
I hope my lack of wanting to play doesn’t make me a bad mom, I do love my girls…bunches. Well, thank you for making me feel a wee bit less guilty!

I absolutely agree. I actually just posted about my nostalgia for summer camp. You totally hit the nail on the head about summers here in Minnesota. Don’t feel guilty and hopefully your summer is incredible!
