Maybe some will feel similar to you but I think it's a minority.
The fact is that working in some kind of white collar job is much, much easier that being at home with one or more young kids. If somebody tells you otherwise then they either lie or are have older children or their work conditions are very bad.
However the difficulty doesn't really matter. Your choice is between time with your kids and time away from your kids! Please, consider that discussion from yesterday about how short life is and that you only have a finite amount of holidays to pass with your kids. Think a little about it and maybe you'll avoid childcare on your holidays from now on.

Putting frozen chicken nuggets into an air fryer is easier than debugging a race condition in an asynchronous service. Taking care of kids is hard in the same way as long-distance driving. It doesn't even require your full attention most of the time. What's difficult is keeping your attention up for hours, with no lapses. A couple of years ago, I had to call Poison Control due to a brief lapse in attention. My daughter had been going through her diaper bag, which didn't concern me too much. A few minutes later, I found her chugging diaper cream out of the bottle. A quick call confirmed there wouldn't be any ill effects, but it was a tense few minutes until I'd confirmed that.
