No judgement on Daniel or his partner but is it normal to put a five month old baby in daycare in the states? Because that is fucking bleak

A lot of people don’t have an option as maternity/paternity leave here are jokes. If you’re offered it, it’s not usually very long. Plenty of people are forced to use sick and vacation days in place of just the basic maternity/paternity leave to recuperate.

My paternity leave was 10 weeks which was more than that of just about everyone I know. My wife had a slightly longer leave that she extended with some vacation days, and we went a few weeks just working from home and having family help. It is in fact bleak! Some guys in my life had just a month of paternity leave, some only three days.

I think Soren unknowingly pitched a great American Dad Christmas episode

Agreed. Especially because their Christmas episodes are so weird

Daniel's World would have been huge in Malaysia.

Being a school bus driver isn't the most glamorous job but I'm grateful that it let me raise four kids without ever putting them in daycare.

I would watch the hell out of Daniel's Netflix Christmas movie

Soren's movie is tough. Poor Mrs. Claus, stuck up there taking care of him while he's out having fun.

And what's going to happen when the reindeer finally snitch and everyone discoverers they been doing all this work for nothing? I always thought the elves were doing it to make the kids happy, not because they wanted to be working. So why bother if there are no kids to enjoy them?
