Accept defeat! LOL, .

I don't think any mom can give their kids all of what they (the mom not the kids) want all the time. I am always striving to do more, read more, give more snuggles etc but I realize there simply is no chance anyone will ever be perfect.

I figure my kids don't notice a dirty floor, but they do love an extra book at bedtime. Priorities.

I agree. I see it as if I was working out of the home then I wouldn't see my kids at all ... DC gives me the opportunity to spend time during the day with them even though they don't have my undivided attention. At night before bed I get to do bathtime and stories with them and that's my special time with them. Also during the weekends it's important to us to do family activities and that's when we really get some quality time.

I agree with letting go of the guilt and letting go of the cleaning!! My DH helps me a LOT so I'm very lucky in that way. I think just being aware that you're not giving your 100% is better than 99% of parents out there who just don't care. Go easy on yourself I'm sure you're an awesome mom!
