I agree, and 99.99% of the time it works as published. Mine got a little interesting when they wanted the Mrs to not lift, and or get out of bed for a duration longer then my leave. I instantly became the primary caretaker of the broad, and that, was for all intents and purposes, not part of the plan discussed nor agreed to by the parties made privy to said leave.

In the end it all worked out, I got the time off I needed, but I would have much preferred to just move a week of vacation instead of owning the company 20 hrs of pay. Who really needs vacation in February anyway!
