@jdthcstl Dude, take every ounce of it. I had just changed jobs so was a tad short on leave but still got 12 weeks plus any sick time I wanted to use. Prior job was the same way and it was surprising for men to take the full 12 weeks plus several weeks of sick leave. Unless you are the sole...

@sonnybaker I’ve only taken 2 weeks so far, I have 4 more that I plan on using when mom goes back to work. Granted, I work from home so I can run down and help really anytime. Then she starts day care at like 6 months old. Granted mine is fully paid and hers in mostly fully paid. My last job I...

@katrina2017 Thank you for making me tear up. Mine is 8 weeks old and it’s already going by to fast.
