    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @des72001at Yeah, I agree that we need to be on the same page but I noticed his priorities are the opposite of mine and he’s a stubborn person in general so it’s hard. We tell each other what we think but that’s about it, we stop talking before getting upset/arguing because he knows I don’t want...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @nfrazer1 Yeah, he hasn’t bonded yet and I’m sympathetic with that since he doesn’t feel her 24/7 like I do. I don’t think it feels “real” to him but I’m hoping it’ll start to once I’m 8 months. My whole pregnancy he didn’t quite get how hard/tiring it’s been for me and we had to have a couple...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @barbaraomalley I agree, but he insists that we both need to make a lot of money and save for her future. We already have a good amount of savings which is why I believe it’s fine to take a break too. I feel it’s more important to bond with her while she’s still a baby than to make a couple...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @thebaconincident Dang all the moms I know reallyyy fear daycares/nannies/babysitters/etc so it’s new for me to hear how normalized it is to others. Maybe it’s the area or personal experience but I don’t know anyone that trusts them like that. One thing is we’d only feel comfortable enough to...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @otoolie Definitely, when the time comes I think it’ll be much easier for him to empathize and want to be present. I’ll ask him to keep an open mind for now in case I need help. I’m sure he’d prefer letting his job know ahead of time but I don’t think he’ll ask for time off until he...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    @otoolie Yeah, I think that’s his mindset too. We’ve been having multiple safety nets but he doesn’t think it makes sense to miss out on any money. He would get 80% of his pay if he takes leave. I’ll still be helping with half the rent and paying for the groceries, budget wise we are good. He...

    How long should dads take paternity leave if they can afford to?

    My s/o can get paid leave but he doesn’t want to take time off just because it’s not full pay. I don’t think he understands how hard it will be for me right after giving birth and he always talks like I can handle everything —like even telling me to go back to work after 3 months lol. There...
