A few years back when I worked for the state...they gave what was called "administrative leave". Once a month parents could use that time for parent/teacher conferences, to attend school programs etc. I asked my supervisor if I could take administrative leave (I don't have children) she told me no. I thought it was unfair and explained why...she said I could use it if I somehow involved children. So I used my leave to go to my church's school/daycare and visit with the kids. It gave me a break from work and allowed me to feel as though I was getting treated somewhat equally.
