How working mothers navigate different levels of support

My best friend and I are both working mothers but she has a stay-at-home husband and I'm doing it solo, and when we talk about work-life balance we end up in this weird dance where she feels guilty about her privilege and I feel bitter about my situation, and neither of us can be honest about what our lives actually look like.

More people experience this than they realize.
