[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1167212, member: 12570"] So you would have no problem busting your ass at Peak knowing that the OP is sitting on his ass at home watching Barney with his almost year old kid solely because "it is my right to take this time"? We are not talking about coming back to work 3 minutes after the cord is cut----we are talking about nearly a year having gone by and then taking time off to be with his "newborn" child. I will tell you that the majority of my co-workers would have a HUGE problem with that. You want to stay home with the Mom and newborn baby after the birth? By all means go ahead and take the time off. Truth is you will probably drive your wife nuts and she will beg you to go back to work. I know mine did---I was in the military at the time and had planned to take some time off but after a week or so she begged me to go back to work; hell, she was back to work within a month. Besides, her parents had come down and her mother was much more help than I ever could have been. But to "schedule" your FMLA to get out of Peak? Why Peak? Why wouldn't you take the time off at any other time of the year? The kid's going to be 11 months old----do you really think they have any clue what Christmas is? You are basically screwing your co-workers by taking an unpaid leave of absence when the truth is there is no real medical reason for you to take the leave at that time other than you feel that you are entitled to it. God forbid you ever have to take care of one of your parents or a sibling when they are no longer able to take care of themselves and you really need to use FMLA. [/QUOTE]
