LOL 15 of 100? So 85% disagree with you. I can buy that statistic as reasonable.
Insulting. Oh yeah, tons of work, especially between 8:30 AM and 3:00 PM... Hair to be done, nails to be buffed, TV soaps to be watched. And the kids turn out so much better.... Well wait, no confirmation of that.
My office doesn't consist entirely of women of child-bearing age.
Your attitude about stay-at-home mothers is disgusting. As previously stated, you clearly have no idea how much they do.
I respect your husband for doing what is needed to take care of his family, but don't disparage a man for choosing to spend time with his family when his work and his family are taken care of.
My point is -- there is no need for a man to be home, it's extra vacation time for him and serves no purpose.
If you can't understand how spending more time together when the opportunity is available can enrich a families relationship, I feel sorry for you.
I understand how much time together is good for a family, I just don't see a valid reason why mothers AND fathers need to take time off of work to care for a newborn child.

It's not a matter NEED. I CHOSE to, because I felt that spending that time with my family was more important than going to work for that four weeks. We had the money put away so that we could afford it and I had gotten far enough ahead at work and was able to catch up when I got back that my employer didn't suffer (heck, they got extra work out of me before and after, and didn't have to pay me for those four weeks).
I took offense with your comment, "What self-respecting man would use the FMLA to take off when his wife has a child?" because I consider myself a self-respecting man and I chose to use FMLA.

You cannot be serious. PLEASE tell me you're joking or being ironic.
'Compassionate Conservative' seems like an oxymoron to me- the two cannot coexist.
