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

Thank you!
I "maintain" my house. I "keep up". I straighten, wipe things down. I don't "CLEAN" very often, if at all, since I have a service.
I think I'm using "clean" in a different sense than PNJ and some others ... but that's why I put it in quotes in my original post on this topic.
And if he wants to run the bath water himself because he's proud that he can do so? And wants privacy during his time in the bathroom? Just like everyone else in the family because he's a big boy now and not a baby. When the girls were 5, yes, I had to stay upstairs while they took a bath because the only bathroom was on the 2nd floor. When Dylan was 5, we were living in a single story house where the bathroom was around the corner from the living room. I could hear him perfectly fine without having to physically in the bathroom with him.

For the most part, yeah. He might not have been my greatest fan while he cleaned his stuff up and he might not have done it first time he was told all the time, but he knew full well--LONG before he started kindergarten--that he was responsible for putting away the things he got out. Period.
IME there is nothing of value to be gained by parent OR child by training the child to expect Mom to cover for him when he can't be bothered to put his own things away.

WEll, let's see.
I slept in (7:45). I've showered, made/eaten breakfast, gone school supply shopping, taken ds for a haircut, and started my grocery list/menu plans for the week. Oh, and I corralled the kids into the tub/shower as well.

No. How does making my bed benefit me? How does having a made bed benefit my children? Can you show me a benefit?
Dh makes our bed. He likes the way it looks. It gives him pleasure. He gets a benefit out of it, so he does it. I don't, so I don't.

Ummm yeah. But that has nothign to do with what I said.

Yes. But unmade beds doesn't remove that pride. I don't have pride in made beds.

Yes, but I fail to see what making their beds has to do with it.
