England Mom: I feel like in the UK mom's are not as vilified for having help with the kids, the house, etc. Do you see more guilt here associated with having help? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Yes, if you're a sahm. But...who cares? I think if you're a good mom and spend quality time with your kids, but need the extra hands to make your life more manageable - do what you need to do. [ Reply | More
