[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can’t believe paternity leave is a thing. Do others have to pick up his slack when he’s gone? Does it take two people to care for a baby? My kids were born on a Tuesday and a Wednesday. DH was back at work Monday each time. [/quote]

Yet another spoiled whiner.  You will never be the Greatest Generation.  The Snowflake Generation, maybe. [/quote]

What exactly did the greatest generation do that was so great? [/quote]

yes, also, caring for a child you helped create is sooo snowflakey  :roll: [/quote]

DP. I’m not opposed at all to paternity leave, but this BS “give everyone the same amount” is absurd. It totally undercuts women who work at small companies who can’t afford to give every single employee 12 weeks off paid with every child. Men don’t give birth, despite this weird narrative going around. Part of maternity leave is recuperating from the body upheaval one goes through after giving birth. Men should be able to take a couple of weeks to bond and help out while the woman is in the thick of healing. Beyond that, yeah it’s pretty snowflake-y, judging by the fact that humanity has been around for thousands of years and *just now* men feel entitled to three months off PAID after every birth of their kid.

Can we just get universal paid maternity leave for women first? Can we just start there? Sheesh.
