Do working moms feel guilty?

As long as you can strike the balance....it depends on the financial freedom also. If you've the freedom to choose the right job which suits you to strike that balance..well & good! Otherwise it'd be a tensed mother running around!

It is general view that a child should be under the care of his/her mother at least till he/she attains 3, in olden time it was 5. Both, mother and child has got equal importance, and there fore they are viewed accordingly. Taking in to consideration the present conditions, the employment need of a female in the family has become more important for its well being. As mentioned by others, right now we have all infrastructure to take care a child from the age of 3 wihout being distinguidhed the difference. As such there is  no need to be guilty, it is enough to look after it rest of the time.  

Working moms and working to meet the day to day needs of their children and it is for the upliftment of kids . They need not feel guilty for this.

Even if she is going for working, she ensures that her kids are in the safe hands who look after them properly.

In today's date we can see working women everywhere in every sector, playing multiple roles as wife, as a mother. I think women shouldn't feel guilty because they should focus on quality time with their family rather than quantity... because today lifestyle is also a busy schedule...... everyone can understand about it

Although I'm a man I can understand you feel guikty but it is diferent somwhere else. Here in Europe moms working are many and it is considered normal. THAT makes quite a difference.

Gargi is right, and for guilt feelings..they can come without warning. Most of the working mothers feel guilty at one time or the another in their life. But as a working mother, it is very imp. to feel comfortable with your decision first. though many people feel that by working, mothers are taking something valuable away from their kids time. while i would like to correct them that we (working moms) give more to our kids then just taking care, a sense of pride and accomplishment, a role model and more financial freedom!!!!!

no,I don't think so ... It all depends on quality time spent with kids rather than quantity..I think working moms kids are more independent compared to the others. But you must remember and ensure that kids remain your top priority.. being a mother you can't choose career over them, its not right! Though balancing both is difficult but then lot of women do it..
