I don\u2019t really know anything about Judaism, but for whatever reason, my kids have the entire week off because of Passover.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know anything about Passover either, but far be it for me to question any religion\u2019s stuff beyond the fact that my kids are off school, but some of my colleagues at work who are Jewish are all in the office like it\u2019s any other day of the week.<\/span><\/p>\n The thing is we\u2019re a week removed from a week in which both mythical wife was off on spring break on account of being a teacher, and the au pair was off on spring break on account of her being a student and going to school.\u00a0 In previous years at my kids\u2019 preschool, they\u2019ve usually just aligned with the county school schedule, and this is the first time that I can recollect them having a separate Passover week off.\u00a0 This has never been an issue in any of the previous years that my kids have been going to their school, but for whatever reason, here we are, this year.<\/span><\/p>\n All I know is that it really sucks because as is often times the case, I\u2019m the one who has to take it on the chin and alter my days in order to accommodate this misalignment of time off, and further illustrate that I don\u2019t get time off, ever, and this is just my life and I really have no other choice but to cope with it.<\/span><\/p>\n So, for this week, I have to stay home with my kids until my au pair gets home from class to which then I have to go into the office late, play catchup the entire days, and probably have to stay late a little bit to make up for lost time, so that I don\u2019t fall behind on more of my shit later on.<\/span><\/p>\n Yeah, I know it doesn\u2019t seem fair, but there\u2019s little sense in calling it out because nobody listens or would be willing to do anything about it.\u00a0 So it\u2019s just grin and bear it, and make the best of my shitty situation where I don\u2019t ever get a fucking break, and try to take solace in the fact that I can spend a little bit of extra time with my kids and try to push out of my mind the meetings I may be missing and the optics that goes along with flaky attendance, even if I do manage to get all my shit done.<\/span><\/p>\n As I\u2019ve opined a thousand times, I would just like a little bit of help and a little bit of breaks from having to be the hard fucking hyper carry in my household.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I don\u2019t really know anything about Judaism, but for whatever reason, my kids have the entire week off because of Passover.\u00a0 I don\u2019t really know anything about Passover either, but far be it for me to question any religion\u2019s stuff beyond the fact that my kids are off school, but some of my colleagues at … Continue reading Dad Brog #148: an example of having to take it on the chin<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[36,193,45,192,52,49],"class_list":["post-50548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-angst","tag-dad","tag-fail","tag-kids","tag-owned","tag-wtf"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50548"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50548\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":50550,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50548\/revisions\/50550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
