    Ok, but since you didn’t know that means you didn’t do it before you retired.

    Also why does it bother you that someone might get some help for caring for people? Also the example that you gave about elderly parents would be treated the same way.

    The reason employers do this is because they rather give that time to the employee rather than have them quit, because any normal person will put family first.

      I did do it before I retired. But not as much. I knew that my employers allowed it, but I also knew it wasn’t universal.

      It doesn’t bother me that someone might get help for caring for people. I’m just saying giving flexibility to parents and not to non-parents assumes only parents are helping people with that time.
