[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if a job offers it, often men cannot take it or they will be penalized.  My husband took a few days.  He got little leave.  It sucked.[/quote]

Did he lie to you about it? [/quote]

No, he did not lie but most people cannot take off six weeks without risking their job. He lied as she wouldn’t listen.  [/quote]

Women take off more than six weeks ALL THE TIME. [/quote]

Do you think that helps or hurts their career?[/quote]

It only hurts women because men don’t take comparable leave when they have children…[/quote]

Men often don’t get the same paternity leave.  If I had another child my husband would get zero leave.  He has no pto, sick leave or anything else.  He’s hourly. [/quote]

In DC and soon in Virginia, every parent gets 12 weeks of paid parental leave to use within the first year of birth, including hourly employees.

But we’re obviously discussing employers that do offer paid paternity leave.[/quote]
