I'm not sure if parents ever truly find a balance juggling kids, household, outside work, etc. But everyone tries.
One thing I've definitely learned when I have a lot to do in the mundane grownup world: I get so much more done when I take a lot of time out of my day to play. Perhaps it helps her give me focused time later. Perhaps it makes me work more efficiently because I have less time. Perhaps it makes my soul happy and I therefore just work better overall. Whatever it is, more gets done and we all end up happier when we all take more time to play.
I'm pretty sure that applies to all of life, really, and not just work-kid-life balancing acts.
