    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.

          For a night, for a couple days maybe but for weeks? Hell no, that is not what babysitters are for. And you’re delusional if you think so. A parent who leaves their kids with a stranger for weeks is not a good parent and could be brought up on child abandonment charges.

            It won’t kill you to not go on a weeks-long vacation that requires a flight for a couple of years.

      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.
