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.
Yeah, changing diapers definitely leads to men not being "respected." Christ. -
Both my kids were born on Mondays. Used vacation for the rest of the week and went back to work the next Monday.
Yeah, I’m old and employers would have laughed at something called paternity leave back then.
Paternity suits were well understood, of course.

I was still a temp when my son was born in late January. I had Dec, Jan, and Feb off which worked out pretty well.
I understand Derek's point. It's not a particularly demanding job and it seems like most dads in the same position could pull it off easily.
On the other hand, why the fuck should he? He had a baby and wants to stay home with his family for a couple of weeks. It's a strange thing to criticize someone for. -
I mostly agree but he can make it to a game on Saturday’s.FremontTroll said:A lot of very strange anti-paternity leave takes.

That said, the games are shitty and it really doesn’t matter. Some time off before calling the shitty basketball games makes sense. -
Looks like your dad had his priorities dialed inDerekJohnson said:

I must say, when I heard she was filling in I figured Castrione had contracted an illness. But to hear that he's on paternity leave is just... I don't know what to sayRaceBannon said:Courage
How about "Congratulations, Dad!"...?
I'm not getting why anyone would have an issue with a guy not leaving town when his wife is expecting to give birth soon...and I've always been childfree.
Could you explain?
What's better than making sure you're there welcoming your child into the world?
At 11:30a.m., my dad kissed my mom goodbye and went to the Husky game.
Washington won 56-7.
I'm just gonna leave that right there. -
A lot of the same people complaining about extended paternity leave are the same people who complain about moral and cultural decay in today’s younger generations (who were raised by tv/video games/nanny’s because both parents had to work) and can’t seem to connect the two dots

This is a good counterpoint. If it were me I would do some prep at home during the week and do my job on Saturday’s.ntxduck said:A lot of the same people complaining about extended paternity leave are the same people who complain about moral and cultural decay in today’s younger generations (who were raised by tv/video games/nanny’s because both parents had to work) and can’t seem to connect the two dots
It’s far from a vacation but babies sleep a lot and there is plenty of time to do some work from home.
I’m posting even tho I really don’t care either way. Good for Tony. It’s not a big deal. -
She did a very good job calling the UW-Wyoming basketball game with Eldridge Recasner on Thursday evening...
Her son is coming to the UW to play for the baseball team on an athletic scholarship. -
Not sure who raised me on Saturdays in the fall... BOTH of my dad's never missed a game!

Anyone have those pro-Lake tweets from Tony handy?
