being a househusband with two small kids means that for me there’s little difference between 9am monday, 3am thursday, 5pm wednesday, lunchtime saturday or midnight on sunday..
right now a 5 month old boy has just puked onto my neck and back.. I may or may not sleep between now and 6am when the day shift starts with his big brother, and a 14 hour ceaseless interrogation of whys, whats, hows, looks and can I haves, plus housework, errands etc.. if I do manage to grab a few hours rest at some point, you can guarantee that sleep will be interrupted at irregular intervals for high decibel level noise assault and stress positions, with the possibility of faecal matter.. (these random assaults will continue during waking hours, doubling in intensity and frequency between 6am and 8pm)
there are no weekends off, no lunch breaks and no going home at 5pm..
the Geneva convention would not allow it in a war zone..
