[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your husband won't take 2.5 months off to care for his child?[/quote]

If you know of any jobs where you can take 2.5 months of consecutive PTO, please let me know. [/quote]

Many jobs are covered by FMLA which entitles employees to job protected (though unpaid) leave for 3 months after the birth of a child. My employer definitely let me use my PTO during that time. My DH could have done the same but he didn't feel like it.

How are you taking 4 whole months off?[/quote]

My company offers maternity leave.

I was unaware that men could use FMLA. My husband only gets a couple of weeks paid leave but if FMLA is an option, he may use that in combination with PTO to cover the needed time. He would completely be willing, again I just wasn’t aware this was an option. [/quote]

Yes, FMLA applies to men and women.

Here is an ai summary:

[quote]Both mothers and fathers, including adoptive and foster parents, can use FMLA leave for the birth and bonding of a child within the first 12 months. To be eligible, employees must have worked for a covered employer for at least 12 months, worked 1,250 hours in the past year, and work at a location with 50+ employees.

Key Aspects of FMLA for Child Birth:
Who is Covered: Biological parents, same-sex partners, and individuals standing in loco parentis (assuming parental responsibilities) can take leave.
Purpose: Leave is permitted for prenatal care, incapacity related to pregnancy, recovery from childbirth, and bonding.

Duration: Eligible employees can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave.

Intermittent Leave: Bonding leave can only be taken intermittently if the employer and employee agree.

Same Employer Rule: If both spouses work for the same employer, they share a combined 12-week total for birth and bonding, not 12 weeks each.
