She was back on tractor the very next day & oldest daughter was watching baby.

Those were the old days. Nowadays, men like Pete need two months paid leave from their office jobs.

“Man”?
You assumed there. On top of that indiscretion, you assumed wrong.

As to its absence, whether a new mother or whatever, either get your butt back to work in a few days, hand off to your PRE-ANNOUNCED temporary replacement (delegate) or quit.

As to competence, don’t make me laugh. That TWOT is in that position only because he is gay. A token. Same as when he was a little city mayor.

Sorry but there are plenty of jobs where it is made very clear that because of your duties YOU SHALL BE AVAILABLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRISIS OR EMERGENCY. You are told it is your responsibility to make arrangements for your family beforehand and to make sure your employer knows you have done so. Parental and all other leaves are cancelled. This has been standard for a very loooooong time and oddly enough children even infants are not left tossed on the street. They get cared for often by SHOCKER HERE, the other parent.

No he doesn't. F@ggots should not be allowed near children at all, let alone "adopt" children. This whole things is an example of how f***ed up is our current society. Butt guy should not have a child and he should not have any leave.

He also shouldn't have any government power and he should be put in a mental institution in the manner these people were dealt with back in the 1950s.

2) There’s an absolute supply crisis in this country that is getting worse daily.

If stuff is failing to be produced at the creation end; then NO amount of fiddling with ships and planes and trucks is going to fix anything.

But "CHOICE" is the biggest reason we are SO screwed in this country!

There is a huge supply waiting to be delivered, but you are correct, they don’t have the people to produce the products either.

My question:they no longer have checks going out to people so how are they living if they are not working??

Did you see where the article says he said: “And I did [be available 24/7], even if that meant taking a phone call or making a decision from a hospital room.”

Yeah, like he spent actual time in the hospital as if he were an actual mother....

Gosh, now even men who don’t identify as women can claim to be mothers...

Pete is just nauseating. Why normal women don’t see thru this BS, I don’t know.
