Honey, bless your heart, if you think FMLA leave is gonna cover everything life throws your way. It's a great safety net, don't get me wrong, but let's just say it ain't gonna pay for your kid's championship dance recital solo in Paris or your spontaneous trip to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

It was for me, it's unpaid but it is more about job security not paid leave.

In WA State you can apply for Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) and you’ll continue to be paid but I think you also have to file for FMLA too. If PFML and FMLA were combined, then it would cover most things.

I only hate they make you suck up your vacation. But as a primary caregiver of a Type 1 diabetic child I have my provider pad my days for the unknown, so I have enough and able to keep my job.
