You do what you have to do!
You MAKE time!
Call in sick for 2 days
Ask for two days off
Sorry cant make excuses not to see your child.

I'm catching up so this reply is from an earlier post, prior to all the Dr. Phil discussion.
Related to taking time off to see his son, while I understand your point, sometimes you don't exactly have a choice. You call in sick 2 days in a row every few weeks to see your child and you may very well not have a job before long. Not to mention no means to send child support (if he is paying CS, not sure). Maybe he does ask for what time he can? He saw Dylan at Labor Day and Thanksgiving right? School holidays for Dylan that I'm assuming MR took off from work.. I could be wrong but it makes sense.
(and in more current 'news' I agree he could probably take a couple of days off for the Dr. Phil thing if he wanted to- my post above was specific to how often he can/does have Dylan for overnight or longer visits)
