    get a sitter. If you can afford a holiday, budget for a sitter.

    Or don’t have holidays until the snot factories are old enough to behave if you can’t afford a sitter. You chose to have children.

      Yes, because it’s perfectly normal to leave your young kids with strangers for a couple weeks while you go on holiday, or visit family.

      Let’s see who will pay for your retirement and medical care eventually… (unless if you live in that US hellscape ofcourse)

          Oh yeah, one hundred percent. The only reason I got kids was to make sure they can take care of my retirement.

          Just as I’m taking care of my parents. I have totally absolutely 100% not broken off all contact with them because of their shitty behaviour. No sir, absolutely not.

        If you’re having kids with the express intent that they care for you when you’re old, you’re already doing it wrong.

        well most likely be dead before anyone under 30 reaches that age.
