Preparing every meal for your kids, getting them to and from daycare, negotiating over every single thing you ask them to do, doing dishes, doing laundry, fixing drywall, etc. it's a lot of work. You can't just roll out of bed, get to work, work all day, then come home and work or unwind or whatever like you used to; you're "on" all the time, for years, and you squeeze some work in when you can so that you don't have to eat cat food when you're older.
