Parents day off child still at daycare

[MommaL]

So I might get push back here, but have to admit that the thought of having a day off each week to myself sounds wonderful! It's not that I don't love my kids and want to spend time with them. Rather I love the idea of having a day each week to run all my errands, go to appointments, clean the house, prepare meals for the week and possibly get to sit down and relax for an hour (alone) without getting interrupted by anyone. That would then free up my evenings and especially my weekends to dedicate to my family, doing things that are fun and relaxed versus feeling frazzled and trying to get everything done. Certainly if it was me, the day at daycare would be shorter and it wouldn't be every week. But I'd like to think that other parents with days off use that time constructively or to recharge so that they are even better parents when they are with their kids.
