My wife is mostly a stay at home mom (she works about 12 hours a week) and does an awesome job with our kids. I 100% took two weeks off for the birth of all three of them and she was well deserving of the support and certainly much more than that.FremontTroll said:A lot of very strange anti-paternity leave takes.
Lets encourage and normalize Dads as active hands-on parents from birth onward.
Not sure how the stay-at-home moms did it in the 1950s, probably with lots of booze and general neglect, but I would fucking kill myself if I had to be trapped alone with my kids all day every day with no help from other parent and I'm pretty sure my wife feels the same.
Paternity leave is more about taking care of the mom than the kid IMO. I got better at understanding that with each kid we had. -
Well sure, taking care of the mom by helping take care of the baby I guess.dnc said:

I took two weeks for baby one and 11 weeks for baby two. Would go back and take full leave for baby one if I could partly because fuck any sense of loyalty and obligation I felt to my employer at that time. -
You get paid for the whole 11?FremontTroll said:

Not all women drop a deuce like that and are 100% next day. Some have surgeries, complications, and heal up after paying the doc for some extra stitches. It’s taking care of the kid, other children, and definitely the mom.FremontTroll said:

They did it fine and families were way less fucked up. Men were still respected.FremontTroll said:A lot of very strange anti-paternity leave takes.

Maybe I didn't articulate myself as well as I could have. But my thing is, there are very few UW games to call every year, and it's one day a week. If you want to take the other six days and be with your family, that's great. I'm no caveman. But staying home and missing Saturday is a very 2021 thing to do.FremontTroll said:A lot of very strange anti-paternity leave takes.

For sure, childbirth is the most insane thing I've ever witnessed. Recovery has got to be rough although the most severe physical limitations only last a couple weeks. My wife will be back to kicking my ass in the gym in short order though.LawDawg1 said:

If you don't mind me asking, are you a government worker? Or did you take full advantage of FMLA?FremontTroll said:

No, in WA State you take paternity so that you can take advantage of the paid leave act that we're all forced to pay in to. Doesn't cover much of my total pay, but better than nothing and burning all of my PTO.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I can see taking the day of the birth off. If you're a man, don't take "paternity leave," take some form of PTO...

Gates Foundation used to offer 12 months paid leave for both parents. Now it’s 6 months with 6 months additional pay I believe.
