Some places online, I’ve read some people do? Any individual spots in the area better than another? Town Fair Tire and Tire Warehouse just seem so chain-y, idk if it’s better to go there or not. I don’t need them to mount them, I’m ok paying my normal guy to swap them over during an oil change but where do I get the tires? Don’t need entire wheels. I have 225/55R18s. How much should I expect to pay?
My father isn't expected to pass anytime soon but I have been thinking about this for a bit now and want to be proactive rather than reactive. I haven't been able to find much for information on what happens if my father dies and owns houses with other people. here are the three situations -
he owns one house in Vermont, primary house. no mortgage. one child lives in there now.
he owns a second house in Vermont, not primary house. no mortgage. owns it with his two brothers (inherited it when my grandmother passed, one uncle lives there as primary)
he and I own my home in New Hampshire, no mortgage. My name first on paperwork but don't think that matters. My primary home.
If my father was to pass tomorrow, is this a shit show waiting to happen? should I get him to nail something down in writing about these? The assumption is my sibling and I would share everything 50/50, no dirty laundry or arguments about it.
I think my main questions are, is my house safe if he passes because I am also on the deed/title/whatever? would it just default everything to me? All I'm finding is marriages lol. And my second question, what about his house and the second house he owns with his brothers? I am worried that my sister and I will need to figure this out on the fly if something happens to my dad.
for reference, he has no retirement or anything of the sort (no savings really) and no debt anywhere else. just wondering if I need to push him about planning this out?
Just wondering if I could get some background from other areas of the world/country on what their maternity/paternity leave is like? I am looking at trying to make my companies better and want to have some background on what is already working elsewhere so it doesn't seem so wild.
some background on mine -
I work for a medium-ish sized food company (about 400 employees) who has positions anywhere from normal HR/marketing, to cloud system admins and commodity managers, supply planners, manufacturing, retail and more. It's a wide range of positions and ranges from in person (for the retail of course and others) to fully remote, we have most people living within the state but a good percent is scattered around the country. Northeast USA.
What we have now is the normal short term disability that is 6 weeks for vaginal birth and 8 for c-section, at 60% pay. The company on top of that will bring that pay up to 100%, and give an extra 8 weeks of 100% parental pay that the mom/dad can use anytime within the first year of the childs birth. most people take it immediately after so they have 13-14 weeks off full pay after the birth. Depending on the position, the company will hire a temp position or the persons team will just cover their work for that long until they come back. I don't think you get the short term disability unless you have worked a certain amount of time.
I'd love to hear about your experience and how it works. for those who have the year+ off, does your company hire temps? how is the culture around it? How is the pay? I've been reading some posts on Reddit it seems 60-80% is normal depending on how long you take?
I really want to start with pushing for 6 months off but am worried that will seem WILD so hoping I can be like well actually its really short, this is how it's working elsewhere. appreciate it a ton. I am not going to have anymore children but I really dreaded leaving my babes at 14 weeks and I kept getting told it was such a great amount of time.. I'd love future moms at our company to have it better, anyways.
ETA - thank you all so so much for all the comments already. this is such great info. My wish for all parents is to get years off without having to worry about it, but I will push for what I can lol. there is another company near us that does the 14 weeks like our company but allows you to bring your child into the office until they start crawling or turn 6 months, which I thought was an interesting way to do it so looking for any info :D
