Paternity leave should be longer than 2 weeks, being in work sucks

less said about recent football matters the better

You can almost guarantee that a keeper will have best game of the season against us :-(

Babies are for women, j.

plus, if we're going to have equality we should actually have equality

[Brentwood]

Even though people often try to use them as the example of how they should become

They can do it because they have a ridiculously low population (and need as many men and women in the workforce as possible), are one of the richest countries on the planet due to oil and taxes are really high so they can pay for it.

I'm just happy to be here milking their system

There was never any question of statutory allowances or whatever.

I am unsure if I was glad to go back, or the opposite. It just seemed the correct and appropriate thing to do i.e get on with it.

Look, we'd all like to spend more time sat on our arses at home and not working, but that's not how the world works. People have to get on with things and children are just another thing that have to fit around the business of making a living - not the other way around.

“I like babies”

Nope, I don’t believe you. No-one likes babies. No-one. Any likeable characteristics are so heavily outweighed by unlikeable ones, that it becomes an impossibility to like them.

[Berni]

Babies are simply awful people. No-one would hang around someone who behaved like that given the choice.

A man needs to have more time to spend with is PlayStation

If you’ve ever done a day of childcare, you’ll know it is more full-on and laborious than the majority of jobs. You seem to spend a fair portion of yours on Awimb and the Guardian, for kick off!

once they can move, then your life is really f**ked. Then it is downhill after that.

[PSRB]

and toddlers are just great.......sometimes

[Monty91]

they’re great – enough probably to convince themselves they believe it. But they don’t.

Ever seen a woman on the street with a baby who actually looks happy? If you have, it’s because the baby is asleep and the mother is enjoying a fleeting moment of respite from Hell.

Otherwise it's basically the World Cup team with a kicking 12, and bostonbrian scrum half.

I had 10 days off over 4 years in one of my old jobs and my new gig thought this was a lot :shrug:

[IUFG]

number of occasions of absence (squared) x total number of days off = BF

So if you have 10 single days off - you score 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000

One absence of 10 days - 1 x 1 x 10 = 10.

Any score over 100 is piss poor imo

Read your Company's Absence Policy for triggers, etc.

In reality most companies budget for between 2.5 - 5 pc sickness absence per annum.

This is gonna be weird.
I am going to LA for the training then I'll be back in London. It's going to be weird as the London team will be erm, me.

vanity careers, over hard and fast cash-grabbing ones. So nowadays they can't afford any kind of decent lifestyle without their birds contributing financiay, meaning said birds no longer have time, and subsequently, any inclination to raise three or four kids.

Randy is smart, the company's health insurance only covers losses of consciousness that take place on the premises.

graduate students, the moment they realised they wouldn't be able to afford to keep good women at home anymore, in the way their grandfathers and fathers had. So naturally, they came up with a suitably high-minded, "graduate student"-type explanation.

So, basically when he's about 8

[redgunamo]

they demand to shop with dad.

[redgunamo]

Nothing to with enormous hamburgers or people in giant duck costumes or guns or whatever; they are terrified of cutting themselves shaving, for example, and being left to bleed to death because there's no NHS there.
