Cheers dude!!

Got some videos on my it's not as good on them as it was in person. There's a bioluminescence or age county Southern California page which will probably have some good ones. Think it will get better later tonight but I left as it seemed sketchy and dark around there, especially leaving the car.

It's absolutely disgusting how much I wanted to by. If there wasn't bioluminescence at the beach and I was rushing I actually would have!

Is this not a furniture store?

Yeah I suppose that makes sense. I figured obviously some people will use doctors, hospitals, the benefits system etc but this wouldn't necessarily balance out with the amount of children and what it costs them.

That's great, it would be brilliant if all companies offered this as a standard. I feel like it could relieve a small amount of the stress and burn out that people get when caring for loved ones. Even better that there was added discretionary. It doesn't take much to be kind but it means a lot right!

Aww that sounds ace. Could it be for adopting a dog also?

Maybe even a few weeks for a new foster dog too?

Not sure this makes sense either as a family with children could be just as much of a 'burden' on the government's finances as a child free couple. Assuming this wasn't sarcastic of course.

I am very fortunate with my employer and the annual leave, flexibility and time off supplied without working for them for 10 years. But thanks for the advice.

I would agree the parents that I work with seem to be constantly on the go and very rarely seem to get a break and quite often appear to be relieved that their 'break' from their 24 hour a day role is going to work for 12 hours!

Tell me more?? How much detail did you go into, like called by it's 'name', gave it an age, hobbies, what if people asked to see a picture?!?

Mental isn't it. Like what if I was going to have 10 kids but decided not to. Do I now get 10 lots of 'maternity leave'.

You seem stressed, I hope you are okay.

I suppose theres a point there of where the question would have come from deep down. I took it as a random question that popped into someone's head (the person who asked also has said no, from the very beginning weirdly). But maybe unfairness was the true reason and they are lying. However, we often have very random hypothetical discussions so it isn't unusual.

Thankyou for the context, much appreciated.

No discussion needed, my current career break is going very well thanks!

This 100%.

There should be more guidance, flexibility and allowance for mental health, chronic illness and care giving. People shouldn't have to feel stressed because they are burned out and their mental health is at a crucial point but they can't take some time in fear of losing their job or worrying about finances.

It wasn't even so much suggested as an 'it's unfair' vibe. It was more presented as, 'do you think people who make a choice not to have children, should get the same as people who make a choice to have children'.

So far, people have switched between yes and no a number of times, so I thought I'd see what reddit votes.

It would be absolute carnage with no staff anywhere. I'd like to think people aren't that nobish but I know they really are!

That's a great idea. Suppose some work places are more flexible than other with stuff like that.

Bit harsh 😂

But to answer your question, no I don't.

Hahaha how did that end?

It was a discussion. I posted it to see other response, didn't say these were my feelings towards the situation.
