[quote=Anonymous][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]
Same if you get preggo within 12 mos of hire date— no paid leave.  Ie you can’t show up pregnant to a white collared job and take paid leave a few months later.

Maybe teachers union people can… [/quote]

Once again, wrong. You’re entitled to parental leave in DC (and soon VA) after you’ve been with the employer for a year. So you will need to be employed for 3 months before you’re pregnant.

In my world (biglaw) it’s common to have no minimum employment period before being eligible for parental leave. And those that have a minimum period often waive it.[/quote]
