[quote=Anonymous]Take it all! With my first, my husband took 6 weeks and while in comparison to many this is a lot of leave, I was emotionally not ready to be alone. Both of us were in misery for the next couple months - me a wreck trying to fill the days without crying the entire time and going on little sleep, him a wreck at work missing his baby and worried about me. Due in a few months with #2 and husband now gets 12 weeks leave. We are beyond excited for the time to both bond with the baby, be the best parents for our toddler, and support each other into the transition of a bigger family. Being together so much might make us a little crazy, but having TWO parents at home will let us take time for ourselves as well (shopping, exercise, sleeping) we couldn’t otherwise get. I won’t get into this because it’s been mentioned above, but we won’t have true gender equality until men have and take paternity leave - and share the work that goes into a family and home. [/quote]
