They came up with a family medical leave

both parents get time

During that 8 weeks you’ll have modified
duties-basically nothing unless it would cause your thesis research restart.
Others could help keep animal lines going for example

Q: can you take multiple leaves for multiple
children

A: It’s a per pregnancy policy

You can postpone everything for one term. One
term extension. Doesn’t apply to automatic extension 7-8 years.

Some body broke their collar bone skiing. House

That was the only drama. Everything else went
fine.
