Treese - We had similar days yesterday. And it appears that our situations are similar in that all of our friends are couples, we have "disneyland dads" for H's, and they are non-existent when it comes to the responsiblity part of parenting.
I do agree that a lot of it (buying stuff and doing things) is out of guilt. I also know that the kids will figure a lot of this out as they get older. But it is hard to accept now. And as a side note....if you were sick....you would probably still do it all.....
It is exhausting. But I do know that I am the lucky one - I don't miss anything and I have them most of the time.
