[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH took one week when DD#1 was born back in 2016, but we had extensive help from family for the first 6 weeks, until I went back to work.
DD#2 was born in May.  DH took 3 days.  No family help, either, due to the pandemic.  He was WFH at the time, but it was still pretty rough.  DD#2 is a very easy baby, but DD#1 is very high energy and needs a lot of attention and engagement.
He is a fed and got no paid parental leave either time.  We tried to manage without him signing PTO.  [/quote]

Umm he’s a Fed. We get good sick and annual leave. He could have used either sick or annual for the birth of a baby. He took 3 days because he didn’t save it. [/quote]

With the birth of DD#2, there was an illness/death in the family that required DH to take a considerable amount of time off in the months before her birth.  So, no, he didn't have a lot of time saved, and we didn't want to use up what little he had left.  It was an unfortunate situation,  and something we hadn't been able to plan for ahead of time, obviously. [/quote]
