If there's one thing that working moms and stay-at-home mothers have in common, it's that ubiquitous feeling of guilt. For working mamas it's often the guilt of missing a school function or having to take a business trip, while stay-at-home moms frequently say they often feel guilty for not putting their education and previous career experience to work. While we may beat ourselves up for not Read more
This question is from a Group Therapy post in our TrèsSugar Community. Add your advice in the comments! So . . . Let me explain the situation: About a month ago, I was on a business trip. I've had this specific client for a year and a half, and I've made several trips out to the client's site. On one of the last nights of the trip, two employees from my company and I went out to dinner. I Read more
Usually when I miss a workout, I feel a bit guilty and make up a bunch of lame excuses as to why it happened. But sometimes missing a workout can be a good thing as Jessica Alba proves in a tweet she sent out yesterday: "Slacked off this am on the work out but the sleep was the best I've had in three weeks. Tomorrow its ON . . . " Being healthy means more than just exercising, and as Jessica Read more
Be it skipping the gym, snapping at your significant other, or not calling your mother enough, life is full of situations that make us feel guilty. Sometimes I even feel guilty for feeling too guilty! A new study shows that while women feel regret to a point that it's destructive, emotionally-detached men tend to be guilt deficient. Men have more trouble seeing how their action or inaction Read more
Every mom has a bit of guilt; it's how a woman deals with it that makes the difference. Whether you are fretting about a pile of laundry (let the kids climb it!) or forgetting it was snack day at preschool (nobody starved!), it's time to get over it. Parenting recently compiled Read more
We've seen a lot of them: public service announcements meant to make us feel bad about drinking ourselves stupid. Remember the one that showed a drunk dude fighting, urinating in public, and hooking up with random women with the message: would you do this sober? Or the gross Belgian PSA that featured people throwing up in unfortunate situations thanks to alcohol? Well new research suggests the Read more
It's no longer a stereotype; a study has concluded that men feel less guilty than women. Whether it's because they genuinely hurt someone or forgot a friend's birthday, the Spanish Journal of Psychology reports hombres are less likely to feel remorse, sorrow, empathy, or anger. The study used the very scientific method of quizzing 300 men and women, ages 15-50, about hypothetical situations Read more
I've read a lot about women cheating on their partners lately. Yesterday in our Conventional Wisdom column, an agnostic woman offered some advice to a Christian woman who felt guilty for cheating on her husband. And last week an Ohio woman, determined to win back her fiancé, made headlines for standing outside a supermarket wearing a sign that said: "I cheated. Honk if I deserve a second Read more
Guilt trips get a bad rap, and for good reason: no one likes being made to feel bad. But having a healthy sense of guilt could help you exercise self control. Feeling guilty about stealing something will make you less likely to shoplift; the pangs you feel after a chocolate binge might prevent the next one. Feeling guilty at a young age could give you more self-control as an adult. A University Read more
My best friend recently had a baby. She and her husband tried for years to get pregnant, so when it finally happened for them, she was over-the-moon excited. Since she's had her beautiful baby boy, she's gone above and beyond the call of mom duty, and has completely let all her other relationships fall by the wayside. As a mother myself, I know how time-consuming caring for a child is, but she Read more
