AIBU to want a break?

Ok so Summer holidays. I'm a part time teacher working 3 days. I have a 22m old. You can imagine. It's pretty full-on.
I spend all week with her. I also cook dinner every night as Hubby works full time. Fair enough that's hard work too.
Weekends I just want a break. From her. Hubby also wants a break.
Yes I'm on holiday and already having a 'break'. But from work, not from my child. There's a difference. A big one.
AIBU to want some time to myself on a weekend? Even though it's the holidays?

Oh and to add when she's napping, I'm getting house jobs done I can't easily do when she's around.

Perfectly natural. Motherhood is pretty full on. Don't beat yourself up just try to get some down time. Leave the chores no one will die. X

YANBU, you and your husband both need time to have a break. Maybe a bit late now but for next year could you put her in whatever childcare she goes to in term time for a day a week over the summer?
