Could you post something? Obviously don't hand write it and don't print on work printers.

I have actually worked at a place that said that and it was almost legit. The owner lived interstate and would fly in take everyone to a restaurant for lunch at least monthly. When a family member of his died he gave time off for all the staff and flew an all expenses paid for any one that wanted to go to the funeral. He would regularly invite any staff (open invitation) and spouses and kids to see games with his and his family, all paid for (including alcohol). We also got flown to his state to attend a milestone birthday, all expenses paid, including spouses. Spouses were always included and kids invited where it was practical.
Annual raises without asking. Random bonuses, especially when a business deal went well.
That place was eccentric, but it actually did feel like we were being looked after.
I can see only 2 arguments for learning to sew. This and being able to add or enlarge pockets
I have a kid. I love my kid. There's also a looooooooot more sacrifice involved than I was expecting.
Not so much the money, but time and effort. Today I wanted to leave the park and go the grocery store for ONE thing before dinner. Cue negotiations to leave the park. 10mons to walk 100 yards. Issues around refusing to use the toilet before we go (young kid and car rides). Not wanting to get out of the car at the store. I could go on. Everything is just a whole fucking ordeal. Pre kid I would have got in my car, gotten the item and come home. 15mins tops. This took 1.5hrs.
I love my kid. I'm glad we had a kid. But I do not see everyone being suited to being a parent. And no one should be forced or pressured to be one.
That's my personal opinion though.

I use 0400 000 000. I've had a couple of looks, but just smile and nod. I also have a spam that's called 'sSpam@hotmail.com. I should make a spam account without my name though. I never log in. It might be dead by now.
Can I post a request?
When I was on TOS (the other site) there was a bunch of active parenting forums. Even down to the specific month and year your child was born. I've missed that community with other parents here. Does it exist? I will settle for more general if there's activity.
Also any active finance / FIRE communities here?
I've tried so hard, multiple times (years apart) and just can't read the books. I read the hobbit fine, that's a great book, but the trilogy I just found myself skipping pages to my favourite movie parts. It just went on and on. It's a shame really, I'd love to have read them.
I asked chat gpt to make me a business logo. It spelt the name wrong in every instance. Ok, keep that picture but replace the words with this exact spelling. Spelt it wrong a different way. Continued about 20 times before I gave up. It won't follow explicit instructions. I can't see it being that amazing at code

I did that once at a birthday party. 21 weeks pregnant and someone asked when I was due. The look of horror was priceless. I had a good laugh and so did she. Her friends were in the toilets (ladies public bathroom) just about, or maybe did, wet themselves from laughing at the overheard conversation.
