      Lol!! Parents day actually extended to pets, too, and later (about a year or so before I left) also extended to (what is now known as) mental health day.

      If you don’t have young kids, you don’t get sick nearly as often. It’s not like having a sick kid at home is a vacation. I don’t begrudge my coworkers their time off for illness or supporting family members with illness.

        Thanks for telling me when I’m allowed to get sick. I’m sick of breeders acting like martyrs for deciding to have kids. You knew what your hobby entailed before you chose to participate.

      I mean not really if you want someone to operate on your heart you are old or someone to bring your groceries or drive you around etc
