Guilt

I feel guilty that I don't feel bad about skipping the Canada trip this weekend. (Overachievers R Us, I guess.)

I have had two instances of standing around in cold rain, which might turn to snow, for Canadian Crown Tournaments. It's [livejournal.com profile] jducoeur's turn. There will be rain here, but I will not be standing around in wet skirts and wet boots and a wet hood.

I'm feeling guilty for going, for taking our 1 1/2 year old son to stand around in weather like that predicted. If I were not a consort and had not booked a hotel for the event, I think we would reconsider attending so that I would not feel like a bad mother.

You should certainly not feel guilty about choosing a sunny, low-pressure, local event over a freezing cold rainy, distant event with royalty, even if they are our friends.
