But...it's not a break. It's because you have to take care of your child while you would really like to have some time just for yourself...like at work. Such a calm and relaxing environment. No you have to take your child from daycare, deal with it's tantrums, prepare food, clean the kitchen, somehow bring your child to sleep and then, finally! If you are lucky you might have 1 hour free time before you fall asleep on the couch. Oh wait! What about the laundry? And shouldn't you take a shower again? You don't even remember when was the last time you showered. Time flies by so fast. Anyways you wake up at 3 am because your child is puking.
Trust me, with children you don't "take breaks" from work. Work is the break.
