My whole family went to the gym together again tonight :). My baby Kenzie wasn't too cooperative at first, but once I started walking her around the track in her stroller and she could look around, she was happy. I have this horrible internal struggle where if hubby tells me to go work out on my own for a little while and he'll hold/feed her, I feel SO GUILTY! I know hubby is super honest and would tell me if I was neglecting him or the kids (and I know I'm not, because I spend the majority of the time with them, but maybe 20-30 min off by myself in the cardio room or weight room). Maybe it's just a new mom thing? It's different with my stepkids because they're old enough to do what they want, but I feel guilty leaving McKenzie and hubby behind. Does anybody else ever fear they're neglecting their family to take care of themselves?

I completely do! I'm a single mom to 2 little ones. When my oldest is in preschool at the Y, I put my 1 year old in the child care for about 2 hours 5 days a week to workout and then shower. I feel terrible because that's 10 hours I could have one on one with her. Yet, its also the only time that I can have to myself without paying a babysitter. But, she is adjusting and plays so well with the other kids and I'm getting healthier which will benefit her in the long run.
If you were leaving her alone or with someone that wasn't caring for her, I'd worry. But its her dad and he is telling you to go, so ditch the mommy guilt and enjoy!
