Audrey Roloff admits she’s experienced some measure of mom guilt at one time or another, and it often occurs while she and husband Jeremy Roloff are on the road promoting their new book.
The 28-year-old reality star said the pressure to perform as a TV personality and mom can often be overwhelming, and between traveling and trying to be her best at all times for her 18-month-old daughter Ember, it can be challenging as guilt emerges.
The mom opened up on Instagram this month and said, “I broke down last night. The last few days I’ve been climbing into Ember’s crib with her while she’s sleeping just to get a little extra cuddle time in.”
The former “Little People, Big World” cast member recently wrote about her experience again in a second post. She said:
Finally home with Ember girl. She had so much fun with Gigi and Papa but we missed her like crazy I’ll be honest … I felt the mom guilt start to creep in at times while we were gone, but a friend reached out and encouraged me some truth.
Jeremy and Audrey are hitting the road to do press for their new book “The A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively, Date Intentionally, Love Faithfully” after departing their hit TLC series last year.
She continued:
When we leave our children for small stretches of time with people that love them so well, it teaches them that they are safe and loved even when mommy and daddy are not around. She changed my perspective to view this time apart as a gift to Ember, who will eventually blaze her own trail in this world without meIt is just another reminder to me that I am NOT in control, and that God’s past faithfulness demands my present trust. All this to say… there really is no place like home.”
It might be the hardest thing as a mom to leave Ember at home for small stretches of time during a busy book tour, but Audrey hopes the experience teaches her daughter independence and how to blaze her own trail one day.
