love vacation time
I read in the news couple of months ago an interesting item about vacation. To all who love vacation, this one is a ‘watch out’ but only here in Finland. Love vacation is another kind of paid leave that can be accumulated similar to summer holiday time of up to 7 days a year.
This is yet a proposal by Social Democratic MP Tommy Tabermann, a person known for his collections of romantic poetry. According to him,
People in today’s fast-pace society have been robbed of time for themselves and those close to them.
A healthy person works better, a sick person less, and a healthy person can stay in the workforce longer.
Although this proposal is aimed for couples and spouses to prevent their relationship from getting distant but then I feel that the whole family would also benefit from this. The kids for example can enjoy more time with their dad and mom. They can join the holiday too depends on the couple right? For us, we always bring the kids during vacations. But I don’t know what has happened to this proposal coz I haven’t heard hubby talking about love vacation yet. Prop or drop?
