Mum 'feels like a failure' for not spending more time with children

A stressed out mother has sought advice online after struggling to strike a balance between work and spending time with her children. A user with the handle Sam84x took to mumsnet stating she started her own dog walking business but has found it difficult to keep on top of housework, raise two daughters and run her business.

The mother says her husband is out to work early and isn't home until dinner time, so she bares a lot of the responsibility when it comes to dealing with her children. The stress means she and her children have 'so many fall outs.'

She wrote: "Since my youngest turned 2 I put her in nursery 5 days a week and threw myself into work (I started my own dog walking business) as I'd been at home for 4 years raising my two daughters. But after a year of this, I feel like I can't keep on top of the housework and run my business at the same time.
