Hmmm... Guilt... I know what this feels like.

Although it is hard to accept, no matter how vigilant we are we cannot prevent our children from being hurt or from suffering. We can only help them through it and teach them how to cope with life. I deal with all kinds of guilty feeling when it come to my children. Did I read to them enough? Did I put the in the right day care? Do I play with them enough? Do I allow them to watch too much TV? On any given day the list is endless. You are not alone in your guilt. The most important thing in this situation is that you are being attentive, investigating options before jumping into action, and above all you are keeping the best interest of your child above all other motivations.

I think you placed this thread in the right place. A good place to post on the issue of guilt or other parenting concerns would be in the health parenting thread. I posted there and got some very helpful support for my concerns.
