I figure if you pay for the day then they can come.

I don't get mad about it. yeah, sometimes it would be nice to spend some more time with kids. but on the other side of the coin (just like us) they work all day, come get kids, go home make dinner, do bath and bed and CRASH! How jealous am I when I hear parents getting the day off!

I tell them to have a nice glass of wine for me, take a nap, and I'll try my best to live vicariously through them.

Everyone deserves a day off to feel free with no guilt and no responsibility.

Sometimes I wish I had a job that I could do just that!
