Should i feel guilty for wanting to take a break from volunteering ?

I've been a volunteer with a youth organisation for the last 15 years or so but after recently starting a family I have found that I have not been enjoying the volunteering as much, it has almost become something that I have to do not want to do. As much as I think I could do with a break from it I don't want to let people down.

It's a personal choice and it's not easy. Perhaps it's not fun but it could be just overload. On the other hand if time volunteering is cutting into time that you should be dedicating to your own kids then no, don't feel bad your children need their parent.
