Alison Curtis: Moving away from mother's guilt

As long as our kids are loved, we are doing a great job. 

I wish that we had a much bigger table as our tiny one was forced to be used as a classroom, office, and dining space during the height of lockdown. File picture

I think it is safe to say that during lockdown we have all had a bit more space to think. In some cases maybe overthink things and in other cases many of us have gained clarity on a lot of issues.

Something that has come up so often for me is the guilt about our living arrangements and how I feel that they are limiting for my daughter. It is simply down to the fact that we have had to spend so much more time, at one point all our time, at home. I keep thinking about my own childhood and the space we occupied while growing up.
