I just started working full-time after almost 11 years, and I'm so swamped! By 9 PM, I'm completely done in. Between work, kids, and housework, my marriage and family time are suffering. The Mom guilt is real! Any tips on managing this chaos?

The guilt is so real. One thing that helped me was hiring a cleaner once every two weeks. It felt indulgent at first, but freeing up that mental and physical load gave me space to be more present with my kids and my husband.

OP, how is it going?
