Fans of the Guilty Feminist podcast will know the above statement, a humorous idea which explores the conflict between the idealistic values we hold and our behaviour in reality.
I think you underestimate how much energy you need for a 10 month old. It's hard work, you are always on high alert. It is easier said then done when society has drilled the act of keeping up appearances into girls and young women; but you should try and be forgiving of yourself.
As a comment on traditional roles of men and women I feel that this also an unreasonable ask for both parties. Being the sole bread winner and having your families financial stability and protection being your burden alone is very stressful. Likewise being responsible for all domestic and childcare related work is an equally large burden to bear.
