Recently, scholars have examined the detrimental impact of parenting guilt, yet little is known about its mechanisms in Chinese. Based on family system theory, this study explores the relationship between work-family enrichment and parenting guilt, with parenting sense of competence as mediating variable and fathers' co-parenting as moderating variable. We distributed questionnaires to 476 mother and collected data at three time points. We found that work-family enrichment was negatively associated with parenting guilt, and the relationship was mediated by parenting sense of competence. Fathers' co-parenting moderated the relationship between work-family enrichment and parenting guilt. These findings further our understanding of parenting guilt in Chinese culture, as well as suggest the importance of work-family enrichment and fathers' co-parenting for maternal guilt
