          I think most any full time job in the US has bereavement leave.

          It’s only the poorest of the poors that get absolutely fucked, as is tradition.

          This depends a lot on if your employer is good or not. I get 20 days bereavement leave per year for close family (spouse, kids, parents) and 10 days for extended family (grandparents)

    Thanks to divorce & remarriage, I used to have 8 living people that I considered grandparents, plus a few more that I guess could’ve also been considered grandparents, but they were estranged and I never met them. If everyone is divorced and remarried, I think you could claim up to 16 grandparents!

      yeah, i knew most other kids didn’t have five grandpas but that’s what I grew up with so it doesn’t seem unusual to me.

    Amateurs. What about our poor stepparents’ parents?? Step-granny’s really had a hard winter this year.
