I answered NO because I never did as a parent.

I have lost count of the number of kids who have spent 10-12 hours with me on their birthdays. Even their very first one. Many all 5 of them (before going off to school).

Granted, some parents/grandparents were at work. Others who did take off had rational arguments for doing so.

The typical reasons were "I have to clean the house" , "He/She will not know the difference" or "I have to shop for gifts and party supplies". The worst was "he does not deserve it" after said 3yo found and opened a couple gifts prior to drop-off. Age appropriate behavior.
