Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

I think it is hard to believe that any mother is not tired by the end of the day. I guess because they haven't taken are of the kids, haven't cleaned....."
Let me replay my yesterday for you. I started of the day with a 45 min walk on my treadmill. Made the kids breakfast, cleaned up after them, and got on a conf call at 8.30 a.m. Worked from home -- interviews, calls, reports, lunch meeting, work from home again till 6 p.m. Make the family dinner, clean up after dinner, give the kids a bath, watch an episode of dragon tales (them I get on laptop for 20 minutes), take them to bed, read story, they are asleep by 8.30 p.m. Do a quick pick up of the living room, put toys away, etc. do an hours worth of work. Get in bed read -- asleep by 10.30 p.m.
And guess what? I *was* tired. But I'm also 6.5 months pregnant. Were I not -- I wouldnt have been that tired. Its called high energy levels and great health -- not lack of taking care of my children.
I don't know if you meant your post the way it came across -- but it was mucho judgemental.
LoL....you should see me in the kitchen, that is my strong suit.

"Now you are calling someone a lax parent?"
Yes I did and I was not pointing a finger at anyone on this board, it was a general statemetn. Except...mkatherine WANTS to be called lax, so guess it could be for her-lol!
Average I would say.

Cleaning, lots. He picks up after the kids the entire time I'm working. Our house is pretty much always tidy and that's due to a joint effort. In fact, he's a neat freak so its all good.
Cooking -- none. Other than the occasional boiled egg or salad he's not a cook. Never has been.
Oh and he does about 75% of the grocery shopping too.
