I can honestly say that for me, it is not about jealousy at all. I own my own business and can take holidays or days off when I want. I am not jealous that a parent has a day off.

I do however feel bad for the child. I feel sad that the parent doesn't want to spend time with their child. I get that parents want time off too and once in awhile it is healthy to do something without your child. However, I have a couple of mom's right now that have plenty of time off and NEVER keep their child home. But they pay me for a service and I provide it. Doesn't mean that I am going to like everything about my job every single day Every job I have ever held had pros and cons. Fortunately, owning my own business has more pros than cons and that is why I do what I do.
