…sometimes want a minute to themselves after work to check their email before dealing with their kid.

…pick a piece of food off their child and eat it because that’s easier than getting up and throwing it away.
…feed their child a Trader Joe’s quiche for the second time in one day (despite knowing that’s not the best nutritional choice.)
