I can remember when I grew up when my parents went on vacation they always took my sister and myself to relatives to spend the time there. I never had that luxury when our kids were small.
No, I don’t have anyone volunteering to watch my kids, ever. Including their father.
Well, that’s not quite true: #2 Son (19) has “volunteered,” anticipating pay, but I’d like to have the rest all still living, thanks.
