See, this is why parents get a "bum rap", if you will, because they decide that THEIR issues (related to their children) are more important than non-children or even non-family issues. I'm sure many an animal lover would say that yes, their pet's life CAN be compared to the life of a human child, and who are you to say otherwise? If people have the time off coming to them, they should be able to use it in whatever manner suits them. That's why I love my job's Time Off Program...as long as you have it in your bank to use and your manager's cool with it, you can use it. Of course, those who get their work done and shine in their projects are always going to get more leeway than those who barely make it.
