Personally, I dobt it's a form of overcompensating. I think it's something you know how to do and do well, and that people mostly like, so of course you do it. The problem is that you do it when you should be taking your chance to relax (that spanking was for your own good.) I know that I, for one, too easily let you do it because I'm lazy and it makes my life easier. I often feel guilty, but I am way to good at feeling guilty instead of doing something. So while I won't always stop you I will try to remind you that you don't have to be doing the mum thing. Do it if it makes you feel good, but be cautious; most others won't notice how much work you put in so they'll appreciate it about as much as most mums get appreciated (i.e. not enough) Better to pick un-mum things to do like back-rubs or long conversations about life or other such things. People will notice them more, and I suspect you'll enjoy them more. After all, volunteering for the most under-appreciated job on earth just seems folly.
