[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a guy with no kids. He's gay, not that that precludes parenthood, but it is a different lifestyle which I think creates a lack of empathy for those of us that are dealing with chidren and health issues.

My son was born with hypotonia and requires intense weekly rehab as well as frequent check ups. My spouse's work has them traveling every other week. We have two other kids under 8. We are busy to be blunt. So, I am the parent that deals with the weekly rehab. I have scheduled it as best I can to interfere as little as possible (Tues, 7am-830am) but ths week when I sent the reminder my employer responded with :

"Can't your spouse ever do these 'things'?"

I didn't know what to say in the moment and now it is really under my skin. Doesnt't FMLA cover scenarios exactly like this? I know basic decency does.

I'm not ready to talk with an attorney yet but I'd like some feedback.[/quote]

I worked for one of these.  The people he hired were just like him.  No lives.  I left [/quote]
