    Do you have poor sentence structure because you can't afford kids? Or can you not afford kids because you have poor sentence structure.

    On a related note, one of my favorite parenting questions is, "How much money does it take to raise a child?" The answer--all of it.

    I'm actually on paternity leave right now. I can say, I wouldn't be much use at work anyway because of the fatigue and sleep deprivation that comes from being a new parent. I'm just working a bit from home to keep up with the important things.

    I'm using my own accumulated sick time to pay for it. I believe it is now Oregon law that employees must be allowed to use their accumulated leave time for OFLA/FMLA leave. So if you've been at a job for awhile and don't abuse sick leave like some do, you should have enough to cover maternity/paternity leave.

    But it's critical to child's development, and kids that are raised good become better citizens, children that are neglected become criminals and we all end up paying for them in the end.

    Leaving work at 5pm is a choice too but I don't hear you bitching.

    You shouldn't have to use your sick time.

    If you run your business, what does paternity leave mean?

    It means time away from doing the one thing you actually love (making money) to pretend to give a shit about the lump of flesh that will ruin your business in 30 years.

    If Damian took Paternity leave during the coming playoffs, would the Blazers get a brownie button for progressive style?

    Would the results be the same as last year?

    Yeah, if you were really serious about your business, you'd plan ahead and stick a needle in your kids brain before it was born.

    Are you sure it would take that long?

    You shouldn't get extra time off that people who don't have kids don't get.

    Trust me, it's not time off. People without babies get to have weekends and evenings, so you come out way ahead.

    You can choose to have it be "time off" if you wanted to. Its all dependent on the person's efficiency and living situation.

    My wife and I are horrible parents, so we have had evenings, weekends and vacations throughout our children's lives. At this point, they're 10 and 13 and have somehow figured out that the world doesn't revolve around them.

    I live in guilt every day.
