She doesn't get it

[MsBell]

my nap time is two hours. I spend the first half hour to 45 minutes of that cleaning up after lunch, getting snack ready for the afternoon, filling out daily reports etc, I am lucky to get an hour break, but I do expect to get a break. Perhaps it is because my kids are so busy in the evening now, but if I don't get some down time to sip my tea and put my legs up, no one is happy!I don't expect a 3 hr break, but I certainly do expect an hour break over 10+ hour work day!
Under 3, they must lie down for nap, around 3 1/2 they can stay up, but it is sitting quietly looking at a book, or we watch a movie, but we are sitting quietly. Most of my parents say the kids don't nap well on the weekends, but they all do here. I think it is because I expect it from them, they don't have an option.

Exactly. I have had many kids that don't nap for their parents but do for me because 1) we are busy and 2) they don't have a choice
