Do you ever feel guilty for asking for help?

Question

I’m physically and mentally exhausted. I feel so burned out and feel bad for asking for helping hand. 
Is this normal?

Answer

Every other Friday I have my mil watch my 3yr old and now 4m old so I can go to the mall, do some shopping,  eat on my own just have some me time.

Answer

2-4 times a month my 21 month old daughter goes to my sisters house for a sleep over. Sometimes for date nights with the hubby and sometimes when hubby is working, just so I can actually have some alone time. I get a twinge of guilt every time,but we need it. Us as moms need it and I think the kids need it too.

Answer

I do not allow myself to feel that way. I work hard all day and night (baby doesn’t sleep through the night yet) and I deserve a break. I have become unapologetic about it after I had a breakdown. I am a better parent when I have time to myself. I don’t count the rare time my kids are both napping at the same time as a break as I’m still “on call.” I deserve time where I am totally off duty. My husband is great. I tell him I need time and we make a plan. I didn’t stop being an individual with needs when I became a mother.

Answer

Definitely not. I go out alone quite often. Husband stays with the kids

Answer

Yes!!! 
I always se other peoples struggles and feel like my struggles don't compare. How can I ask them for help? So I just don't. 
But those are the only people I'd trust enough to leave my kids with hahaha.

Answer

So guilt is real, my husband has been telling me for a long time no one does it on their own. I shouldn't expect that from myself. That being said I had an aunt call and ask if she could bring over a special dish this weekend and I gladly accepted it. I am learning more to accept and be gracious then to keep my pride.
