Many mothers of small children feel terrible to leave their precious toddlers in the hands of a baby sitter or nanny, so they can go to work.

When I was in my teens, one friend’s mom was an architect, one’s was a doctor, and they had really interesting lives and seemingly good relationships with their moms. My mom stayed home with me and we had a pretty rocky road for many years.

Looking back, I now believe that staying at home or not staying at home is not the question and that the quality of the relationship is critical. It’s not a “one-size-fits-all” thing, and shouldn’t be.

I am so thankful that I can stay home with my children. Sometimes I wish I had a regular job because we could use the extra income. But money can not replace the value of time with your children.

Necessity is the mother of invention. Divorce sent me into the workplace and onto a double career path of head-of-household and banker. I was ever grateful for the influence of a strong stay-at-home mother and a successful career father who prepared me for the dual role and I did not have time for guilt. We do what we have to do or what our circumstances lead us to and this is where “Judge not lest ye be judged” comes in.

I was a working mom and suffered the same guilt. That guilt didn’t change as they grew. The problems just seemed to get bigger—and the worries. It was hard dealing with their problems from my office, especially when they were arguing about who ate all the cereal and who took someone’s new CD. But they survived and are now going through the same with their young children. Ah, the empathy begins! Now they know how hard it was and I wasn’t such a bad guy.
