Belle, I think the polarization is due to Mother-guilt. It doesn't matter what you do. You'll always worry that your decisions will hurt your kids.
In my case, I was becoming Depressed at home, and spending as much time in escapist activities as I would at work. It is far healthier for me to be working now, and appreciating what a gift my daughter is to me.
But for many women, it is the opposite. They become depressed at work, feeling in their hearts that they need to be with their children more.
I think the rational thing to do is consider what is best for the family as a whole, and not break it down into individual pieces. Think about what is best for each individual, yes, but then use that data to decide what is best for the whole family.

But to get back on topic, don't feel guilty. You are trying your best, just keep that in mind and skip all the rest.
