I'm 24 and I already have 2 sons, a 2-year old and a 1-year old. In the Philippines, marrying at an early age is not tolerated..However, I tried very hard to be the best mom I can be to the point of sacrificing everyrthing for my kids. But, my friends keep on telling me that I should take it easy, to enjoy life because I'm still young. But when I do, I always have this guilty feeling that I should be with my kids and not with my friends..What should I do?

I guess all mom always have the same feeling of guilt whenever we are out with friends and enjoying somewhere else but we have to remember we have a life to take care too. Our self satisfaction is very important for us to continue moving on otherwise we'd stop there. At an instant we become nothing.
It's hard to get losyang at an early stage. You'll never know what you'll end up with in the coming days.
So once in a blue moon enjoy the company of firends and renew yourself, nothing's wrong with that. For as long as your partner doesn't prohibit you from doing it. Go and enjoy life.

I think that you are doing what is right. It is not wrong to go out and take your mind off of everything for a while. As a mother of three, i need to de-stress. (frequently) I usually go shopping and have lunch with my friends. We all need it. As long as you know your children are in proper care. Take Care. and remember that as a woman, we need to care for ourselves, too!!!
