    If I take a sabbatical from my career and go work for a charity, I’m still taking a year off from my original job. What you do with the time is irrelevant to the language used.

    Should people get parental leave? … absolutely. Is it “time off” from your job? … Yes. Are they taking a holiday? … No.

      It might be a time off from employment but it’s not time off. It’s not a fucking holiday.

        That’s what they said… It’s semantics. People associating “time off” with holiday for no reason when they don’t mean the same thing.

          holiday = time off work where you spend your time watching after your children
