People are in disbelief learning how many moms literally daydream about being hospitalized.

It's not unusual for moms to fantasize about being hospitalized to get a break.

The reason hospitalization is attractive is that it's forced—if you're in the hospital, you have to be there, so there's no guilt.

Being hospitalized isn't ideal for a whole host of reasons, but the desire is real.

There aren't a lot of simple solutions to the issue of moms needing a real break.

Maybe if society were structured in such a way that we had smaller, more frequent respites and spread the work of parenting across the community.
