Most of the time, if I'm in the house, it has to be ME s0 there is no such thing as "off duty." At least your girls allow C to take care of them.

Off-duty is tiring! Also, remember that last week C. was out of town from 5 a.m. Monday to 11 p.m. Tuesday, and I had 2 entire days with no help with the girls.
