When I feel like I'm not doing what I am supposed to as a mother, I will torture myself. I don't know how to deal with it. I find some consolation in the fact that all mommies feel it. If there was a way to cure mommy guilt, I would bottle it and be a bazillionaire.
If you're convinced that you face bad options, then by all means take the least bad.
No Christian can be a pessimist, for Christianity is a system of radical optimism.
