    You make it sound like paternity leave is a vacation. The poor bastard didn’t sleep for 4 of those 5 weeks.

      His wife is a stay at home mom, so I think it’s a break for her more than for him. She finally gets help during the day.

        Dude seriously. I had a whopping two weeks off for my paternity leave and people were seriously acting like Id just come back from holiday.

        The first week I literally lived at the hospital (major complications with the delivery). The second week I was home with the infant alone as my wife wasnt released yet. What vacation? I slept like 24 hours total in two weeks time.

          I had two weeks for maternity leave as well. First week in the hospital with a new abdominal wound and a newborn that didn’t know the difference between day and night yet. Second week was for crying every day that I had to go back to work.
