I'm certainly no expert when it comes to parenting (who is?), but I think it might well be able about balance. Well that's how I'm trying to see it anyway.
I think parenting and guilt seem to come hand in hand. A lot of us beat ourselves up about the things that we haven't done that day, but we rarely focus on what we have actually achieved. And whilst putting a wash on might not seem like much of an achievement - it sort of is when you have little people to take care of all day. It's one more thing that can be ticked off of 'the list'. It's one more thing no longer hanging over us.
I think a lot of us probably tend to focus on the 'what haven't we done today' rather than the 'what have we'. I know I do, I've even thought about writing down a list of things I've achieved or done in the day before, as I'm too quick to be hard on myself up and tell myself that I haven't achieved anything during my day looking after my boys.
