make it mandatory for all employed workers who have families to get 1 paid day off each month to focus on parenting.

Created by J.K. on February 15, 2012

Most working parents focus more on making money to support their families. We have way too many latchkey children because of this. I believe that employers should allow 1 paid day a month for workers who have children to be there to spend the day with their child. A LIFETIME PASS. Whether it be to go to an afternoon baseball game or just to be there for them when they come home from school. I believe I grew up the way I did because my mom was able to be at home everyday I came home from school. I was lucky. Kids today don't have that luxury . I think 1 day a month for a parent to be with their child is not asking much from an employer-families are important.
