I can't stand the constant guilt. My kids are busy in sports, hockey, soccer, karate and they are popular with their friends. They have 2 particular friends a bro and sister who are in the same grades as my kids and these kids often invite mine over for an hour or 2 in the evening during the middle of the week (one of their only free nights). I have a fairly small house - no basement or rec room so when kids are over they are pretty visible. My husband works hard all week and deserves some free time during the weekend and we try to get in some family time, as well as time for us and also get the dog out for a good run. Between all of this I feel obliged to reciprocate having the bro and sister sometime on the weekend (today is the day) but I don't do this nearly as often as my kids go there. To top it off today the kid's mom invited me to her church to learn about Christianity. What?? This reduced me to stunned silence and then stuttering incoherance and now I just want to avoid her altogether. It's so damn awkward.
*sigh*
I despise feeling guilty. It makes me cranky.
My kids are 8 and 10 - someone pls tell me it gets better when they are older.
