I have worked full time up until the end of last year. This year I started with three days a week and am now down to only two days a week. My ten year old daughter loves it because I can pick her up from school and do things with her. I just cannot get over the guilt of not working full time. My friends say I should enjoy it and make the most of it, easier said than done. I have recently been diagnosed with anxiety so the feeling of guilt is not helping. Not sure what I'm asking, I guess I just wanted to get it off my chest, thanks for reading xxx

You remind yourself that there is food on the table, you daughter has clothes, and the things she needs. You remind yourself there are bigger things than having more money.
Id be looking at the rest of your situation , is working 2days enough to pay the bills , have food on the table , pay rent / mortgage ? If the answer is yes then also like you mentioned the other benefits are u see your daughter after school and I bet your stress levels are lower too ... what are the cons ? Or reasons to feel guilty ? I can't think
If any ! Enjoy that you have a job that allows you to have time with your kids and still give you some $!
