Working Mom Guilt | Guest Post for ScaryMommy.com

Working Mom Guilt. It’s a pain in the arse. I was psyched to write this post which was featured on the always awesome ScaryMommy.com. Of all the posts I’ve written, it’s the first time I’ve gotten negative comments. So I stopped reading them. I’m going to take it as a compliment that I wrote something that inspired discussion.
