No. Does it have hard moments? Absolutely. Is it easier than juggling a 3 year old who has to poop and a 7 month screaming bc she is overtired and won't nap? You bet.
As for the guilt, eh. They are both thriving and I think I am a better and more patient mom when we are together. They have been in care since they were little and don't know any different. I feel a pang of guilt when I see some SAHMs on my street playing with their kids at like 3pm if I have to be home for one reason or another but it very quickly passes.
Diluted for deluded??? you're a lawyer?
