I don't take vacations.

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.

A vacation frequently means that the family goes away for a rest, accompanied by a mother who sees that the others get it.

The idea of a perfect vacation is not working or not having to work and having no appointments.

People without children do have the freedom to do things that caring parents with dependent kids can't - to work long hours, to travel frequently, to relocate, and to do all these things on short notice if necessary. In return, they can achieve positions that devoted parents can't.

Your kids inevitably want to move where they had their vacations when they were younger.

There's never been a parent in my life.

You become a parent when you have a baby, no matter how you get there.

No parent is there forever. So I won't be here forever with these kids.

I don't need a vacation in the traditional sense, like I would if I had a job I hated.
