I work from home, so I had for the last two months (less three weeks of my own holidays) to work while being a dad… and I can’t cut myself in half.

Right‽ The amount of times I’ve had to have the “I’d love to drop this work crap and play games with you, but we have to pay the bills” convo this summer… LMAO

Idk, I don’t exactly rejoice about back to school time, but at the same time it’s nice to have a scheduled break for alone time/quite/“adult” time 😏/work

I think it’s just a matter of where your personality falls. Some parents thrive on the routines and busyness of having their kids around all the time and others feel happy because they need a little personal space and the school day gives them time to recharge and focus on other things. It’s not about loving their kids any less, the break tends to help them come back to family time with more energy and patience
