This has long been a problem for me as well, and though I don't have children (yet?) Life begins for me at 6am sharp. The guilt is especially relatable. The contents vary, but inevitably something close to, "Is writing really the most important thing I could be doing when I haven't talked to my parents in a week or finished grading my student's papers?" is always going through my mind. It never feels like there's a good time,- or even a not-so-great time to write.
All of which to say, thank you for sharing. It's nice to know other people struggle with this too.
On a separate and perhaps somewhat private note, are you medicated for ADHD, and if so, do you find it helpful to your process? (No need to respond if that is too personal a question).
