He didn't tell the people on the mountain, "Sorry, but I am taking a break. Go home to your villages because I am spending time with my family."
No, he fed the people and preached. He didn't say, "I will not do what God called me to do today cause I need a break. I will come back to it next week, cause I want to spend time with family." He didn't send all the disciples home to spend time with family and suspend the ministry.
He had no family. The disciples took their wife and kids on their travels. Nowadays church is mainly for adults and the wives can work, take care of the kids and do volunteer work in church. I bet you can skip a whole lot of that volunteer work, so some can have a break and others do it. If ppl don't do volunteer work they shouldn't complain if the others need a break. The whole church is supposed to function, not just some people carry way too much load and others just sit and consume and be served.
