Our son is in his early 30s. When he was young, I did enjoy being home with him. Vacations tended to be family visits. Were we tired a lot? Yes. Sick days were what I found troublesome, for there was generally wash to do, him to be picked up early from day care or later pre-k or school, and it all seemed more like quarantine than recuperation. Still, there were seldom more than three such days a year.
