well I am asking people who need to work.

RSF choosing to not work is great for him, but Im talking about people that need to balance income and relaxing

fuck ya dood. Good to see you living life.

Which countries?

For my 3rd kid, I decided to switch to part time so I could be home with the kids more as it was going to be our last kid and this was the last time I could get a year or 2 with the kids before some of them started school. I loved it.

we moved from australia to the us (nyc) in 2015

being a sahd was fine, but the days were a bit monotonous with a young toddler.

After deployment as a military reservist you get 3 months of time before you have to go back to work or your job can refuse to rehire you. For one half of one of those months you continue to get paid (fully taxed) for your accrued leave. We did a fly and drive to get a used car, bought a house, went to Europe for a wedding and 3 weeks stay with in-laws, then moved into house and did furniture shopping and installation shit
