Her response to a new WOHM was awesome:
From "Guilt guilt guilt:"
Being a mom hurts in all sorts of ways, big and small, transitory and lasting, and from all sorts of things, doesn't it?
Before we go any further: You are not damaging your son by working. He will thrive,
because you are his mother and you come home to him every day.I wish that we all had jobs we loved and feel are worthy of our time, but earning the money to support our families is honorable and right. You are a good mom. You were a good mom when you were home with him, and now you're a good mom because you work.

I love it too, particularly the last paragraph. Thanks for sharing!
Love this. Thanks! This morning was an easy one, but I will save this close for the ones that are not.
Thank you for sharing this! I am newly returned to the workforce and I still have guilt all the time.
Hey, Melessa! Good to 'see' you!
Lovely. I'm a work at home mom, and have just begun to feel the guilt myself. :/
So well said. Take it to heart, all of you wonderful working moms!
