Its time away from your employers needs.

How you choose to spend it is ykur call.

But once you have kids you have no choice. It's either you have these "breaks" or not be able to work at all

The choice was having kids in the first place.

[–] saimen@feddit.org -3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

And having kids means you shouldn't work?

[–] novibe@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nobody is saying that. Just that people without kids should also have more time off work.

But then what's the point of this discussion? What does it has to do with people having kids that you want more time off? Just demand this then independent of the fact that sometimes people with kids get some special treatments because otherwise they wouldn't even be able to work.
