Do you feel guilty when..

[ZakkarysMom]

You buy something for yourself? I bought a shirt today. Just a plain long sleeve shirt. And i felt guilty. I rarely buy things for myself. My kids have more clothes than i do. And thats fine. I always put their needs before my own.

I used to. But it turned out that if I am not happy/satisfied/please with something, my mood influences those around me. It is normal to be a bit egoistic. Love yourself, buy smth for yourself and your relatives will feel better.

No. As long as I'm not spending money we can't afford to spend, and my daughter has what she needs, I don't feel guilty for doing something for myself. I also don't feel guilty going to the gym, meeting a friend for a drink, or going out on a date with my husband. I think all of those things contribute to making me a happier person, which in turn makes me a better mom.

Never. My life didn't end when I had a baby. I put her needs first, but I don't put mine on hold either.

I used to feel that way all the time.  I still feel that way from time to time, but I'm learning that's its ok to doing something for myself once in awhile.

no, but my kids are 8 and 11 years old and don't go through clothes as quickly as they use to.  so i don't have to put as much money into their clothes.  now unless we have the extra money i feel like i have to justify the need for an item.  if i can't justify the need for something then i don't buy it at that time, i'll wait.

There are times when I feel guilty for buying myself things. Then there are things that I don't feel guilty for buying myself.

Like socks, and things that make me feel more comfortable, I don't feel guilty for. Anything else though and I feel that I am spoiling myself when my son needs and wants things.

Yes even if it's less than a dollar! Pitiful!

What is making you feel guilty? What would cause that?
