How do other people get anything accomplished when they have kids?

Today kindergarten started after a 2 week break (holidays). Unluckily, little C. has to stay at home because she is sick.

 

I have only two kids in two different kindergartens (we have different institutions for children aged 1-3 and 4-6). And I have at least one of my kids at home about half of the year: Three days because little C. has a cold, 2 days because little A. vomits, a week beause of the flu,… Three weeks  the authorities close kindergarten 1 because of some epidemia, one day of for paedagogical super-day at kindergarten 2, 2 weeks Christmas holidays, 2 weeks Easter holidays, 11 f***ing weeks because of the summer holidays…

It drives me crazy.
