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

I have already stated the answers to these questions 4 times, if you wish to have them answered again, I suggest you re-read the thread.

You are human and have a lot on your plate. Nothing at all to be ashamed of, IMO, lol.

I'm also 6.5 months pregnant and work 50+ hours a week in a highly highly demanding job -- and when I'm not pregnant it involves more hours and travel.
And I think if you actually *read* my post, you'd see I do quite a bit at home too. Like all the cooking, cleaning up from that, etc. etc. And yet -- shock shock -- I'm still not as exhausted as I should be according to you to qualify for a good mom award. Oh well.

No, I'm saying I have the time and energy to be concerned about my house as well as, in addition to, its inhabitants.

My daughter is much more demanding than my son, because of her adhd but my son is demanding because of his age.
