I made up a whole family back in the early aughts. Honestly i did get my time off every single time with near no explanation.
The process of keeping up the facade was just more work then fighting with hr for my pto.
A possible option working within existing systems would be:
Parental leave: you get pop sustain rate (2.1?) parental leaves banked. You use 1 leave for every child you have and bank is allowed negative with no penalty. At 45 or so you get to use your bank without being a parent.
Something like 95% of people become parents.
Flex time/time-bank + home/hybrid office fix most other issues in office jobs.
