<p>Today I talk about one of the most common issues women physicians deal with: working mom’s guilt. I remember being told I could have it all, but no one told me how hard it would be to miss out on my daughters milestones and activities.  I want to share some facts proven by studies that children are not adversely affected by having a working mother. I think this was one of my biggest worries.  I share some ideas from research and from my own experience to hopefully make your parenting more enjoyable. Please remember this: “None of us I decided to have children planning to be miserable and punish ourselves”.</p> <p>Find more about this episode, including show notes and resources, at <a href="https://www.deannalarsonmd.com/pod-post-ep-2-why-i-eat-ice-cream-when-feeling-anxious-or-sad-copy-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DeannaLarsonMD.com</a></p> <p>(3:00) Definition</p> <p>(3:22) How does a working mother affect a child?</p> <p>(4:55) What are the effects of working mothers on family relationships?</p> <p>(5:33) How to cope with working mom guilt.</p> <p>(6:33) Organize</p> <p>(9:00) Split responsibilities</p> <p>(12:38) Self care</p> <p>(13:08) Relax</p> <p>(14:02) Re-examine your values</p> <p>(15:28) Follow Your Own Rules</p> <p>(16:46) Let go of negative thoughts</p> <p>A <a href="http://hurrdatmedia.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hurrdat Media Production</a>.
