If we're both missing the same time, why is one excuse A OK but the other not? Shouldn't the childless get equal "personal time" to put them on even footing with the free time parents get?*
* And don't say its not "free time" when you're dealing with kid issues. Any time for personal issues outside of work is "free time." You choose how to spend it.

I've said this same thing about maternity leave (or the family medical leave - whatever). Why can't I get time off paid? Everyone else has to cover for the person taking the time off (men and women) - why can't you cover for me while I flit off to Europe?
