In California I wouldn't have been paying you to stay home. When you work you pay premiums into the State Disability insurance system (SDI on your paycheck). When you're taking disability they pay you out of that - just like any other insurance scheme.

So if Michigan has an SDI program and you didn't take the time (and your work could afford to be without you) you simply lost that time with your son AND wasted your money in that system since there likely is no "opt-out" option.

I'm trying to figure out why you guys should have paid me to stay home.......
I already said why. Children are raised in a villiage. If you support parents and let them be better parents they will also likely be better employees and the children will be better for it as well. Loyal employees with children who have good role models who are available and home often.

That's a novel concept eh?
