[Diyhai]

Just a debate me and a co-worker having
He is saying alot of men take off months
I'm saying most people dont have paid leave and just got a new bill in a baby
thoughts

3 weeks.

I about lost my mind and couldn't Wait to get back to work

2 days (with both) because I don’t have titties and can’t breastfeed. I made sure my baby and old lady were straight and took my ass back to providing. I could’ve used vacation time or leave, but I’d rather save that for something else.

I think now most companies are giving 4 weeks

2 weeks. My girl had a c-section so she needed someone around the house.

6 weeks paternity leave. Between work top up benefits and the govt, it was fully paid

I took 30 or 60 days for my first 2 cuz I had too much leave so was forced too and hated it cuz I was a workaholic.
Great spending time with newborn tho

My daughter was born on a Friday and I was back to work on Monday. I could've took paternity leave, but it would've paid me a percentage of my normal pay. I wanted that whole bag. Plus my girlfriend's momma stayed with us for a couple weeks after the birth and I didn't need to be there all day with both them.

Basically same thing when my son was born.

Had twins, took off around 2 months with another 2 months sporadically working from home as I pleased.

I took off two days, baby mother basically just stopped working entirely for several years. but my mother in law moved in for about 6 months to help.
