[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH got no additional PL.  I think he took three days after my C-Section both times.[/quote]

Most of us whose husbands took leave didn't "get" anything, we were taking our own leave. [/quote]

I’m a woman and I have to use my own leave for maternity leave. I “get” to take it because of FMLA though. DC paid family leave applies to men too.[/quote]

Exactly. Men are entitled to a full FMLA and can take it if they want. It is just a matter of planning ahead to save for it.[/quote]

2nd pp here. That's what I was implying. I didn't get maternity either but I saved for a decade. I think men don't take it because they don't want to. DH's work now offers 12 weeks paid but none of the men take it. They're very family friendly and DH encourages his employees, but the men don't want that long. Women always take it.

I'm pregnant with a 3rd baby. DH will take 4 weeks when baby is born and then 6-8 weeks when I go back. That helps us so much more than him being home weeks 4-12 when I've got it all covered and just want to relax with new moms groups. [/quote]

That's so interesting. My work offers 12 weeks regardless of sex and I don't know any man who didn't take the full 12 weeks. Work culture, I guess. [/quote]
