Maybe she isn’t thinking solely about what is best for her but also is being considerate of her team?

I understand you need 12 weeks or close to it after giving birth and I don’t mind when people take that. For the father or a parent who hasn’t given birth you have 12 weeks to take any time over a year, why would t you at least consider what might work for the rest of your team? So many groups are stretched thin and taking 12 consecutive weeks off while others may be out or things are particularly busy is so inconsiderate.[/quote]

Any organization that cannot adjust with several months of notice has a problem bigger than one person.

What if that same new parent left for a different job? It will take awhile to hire amd get someone up to speed. So should someone who "consider the rest of their team" not take a promotion? Or it only matters when it comes to taking parent leave.

Men who take parental leave help level the playing field at work and home, and they send a signal that their office isn't driven by sexist outdated gender norms. I have a ton of respect for it.
