What’s NOT okay is letting yourself become so overwhelmed to the point of neglect. Yes, you need to take a breather here and there, fold two things, answer a question, take a minute to play a game of sudoku, then go back to laundry. Sometimes you can’t do everything at once, you weren’t meant to.

just because one mom chooses to discipline her children differently than you, doesn’t mean she abuses her children. if you chose to do this you MUST HAVE SELF CONTROL. although there are MANY parents out there who simply just abuse their children. which is extremely sad and extremely heartbreaking.
