I found myself nodding along as I found my experience of motherhood and mom guilt in your words. I think you’re right too.. it does diminish when we talk with others about it. I loved your exploration of tenderness and crumbling.
Mom guilt is the biggest liar! You’re an excellent mom (and a phenomenal baker) and E is so lucky to have you as a mom! He’s going to have the best Christmas ever.
I think you're totally right about opening up about the mom guilt- then we can put it in its place. You're doing a great job. Little E will have such a wonderful Christmas with you as his Mama! And cold winters are so magical for kids - we live in Colorado and my kids LOVE seeing their breath, playing in the snow till they're soaking wet, and chipping ice. :)
Loved the analogy with the cookie :) And I'm in agreement with you (and others here who commented!) that opening up about mom guilt does relieve the burden we too often carry!

For sure - having other moms to talk to is so powerful!
