Mirichtka, I’ve been saying that for years.
My husband works on all those “off” days, yet he manages to build the succah, buy an esrog, help clean for pesach, buy nosh for my kids weekly shabbos party, and he also learns a
couple of hours every day and davens with a minyan 3 times a day.
How does he manage? Wonders!
Rabbeim get too much vacation, sorry if you don’t like to hear that.
A 2 day yom tov turns into a full week yom tov by them with b4 and after.
When shabbos is at 8, my boys are home at 12.
Sundays, they go late and come home early.
Summer vacation is 8 weeks, plus a week before and a week after.
chodesh tishrei they constantly start late and finish early. It almost didn’t pay to send them at all.
Why?
I love my kids dearly, but kids need schedule and routine. Any mother can tell you that. And I don’t think any mother wants to describe how her kids act at the end of a week’s yom tov.
