    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.

    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.

    I mostly agree but he can make it to a game on Saturday’s.

    That said, the games are shitty and it really doesn’t matter. Some time off before calling the shitty basketball games makes sense.

    Courage

    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 say

    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?

    I was born on a foggy Saturday morning at 10:08 a.m.

    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.
    Looks like your dad had his priorities dialed in

    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.

    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.

    I'm pro long maternity leave for mothers. Seeing soy boys and cucks push around strollers is one of the problems with men today.

    The culture and moral decay is a complex issue. Low union membership, globalization, emasculation of men in every facet of society, feminazi fantasy bullshit of women being the sr. vp of ATT while having three great kids...could go on....

    As a MAN who only needs like 3 days and a few pale ales, I will be given 3+ weeks.

    But I won't feel good about it.

    I'll party in shame!!!
