Not exactly, you don't deserve to get dick days for your child being sick if you have no child.

Also you deserve additional leneancy when your child is sick. Cannot plan for that. They just do that and need more supervision than your sick partner.

Most things that reduce non parent's ability to work can happen to parents equally.

Vacation does in fact suck though. A lack of child shouldn't make it harder for you to take a vacation. But your employer also must enable parents to take time off when their kids need supervision, so that sounds like a staffing issue.

A possible option working within existing systems would be:

Parental leave: you get pop sustain rate (2.1?) parental leaves banked. You use 1 leave for every child you have and bank is allowed negative with no penalty. At 45 or so you get to use your bank without being a parent.

Something like 95% of people become parents.

Flex time/time-bank + home/hybrid office fix most other issues in office jobs.

It's not about "deserving". It's about enabling the reproduction of the proletariat so that there's proletariat left to exploit in the future.

Whomever wrote that never had children.

I made up a whole family back in the early aughts. Honestly i did get my time off every single time with near no explanation.

The process of keeping up the facade was just more work then fighting with hr for my pto.
