@jdthcstl I'm just finishing 5 months paternity leave.
Even that wasn't completely easy. Having a kid is hard, and if anything goes wrong like post parturition depression you're going to need all the help you can get.
@annieannie My wife wasn't pregnant at the time but when I travelled for work I pre-cooked all her meals and froze them.
That works for us since we eat a lot of curries and stir fries which freeze well.
@hugues Better than 6 weeks after...
I've just come back from a 1000km road trip with my first at 8 weeks old to get to my sister's wedding. I feel glad to be alive.
