[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see why men do this. [/quote]

Because (like for their wives), it is one of the momentous occasions in their lives?  Because focusing entirely on family for a couple of weeks can lower overall stress to the family and allow bonding?  Because in the end, his kids are more important than his job of anything else?[/quote]

Not pp but, I also find it odd. A week is cool but anything more is not really about the bonding experience but rather an excuse to laze around the house. I just don't believe that men have the same biological need to bond with newborns.[/quote]

you're projected. decent MEN don't laze around the house - they share the work. [/quote]

No, they don't. But it's cool if you'd like to pretend otherwise. Whether the Dad is home or not, Mom still does about 80% of the work at the newborn stage. [/quote]

You're better off with a good nanny or housekeeper in the first month or two that the baby is essentially glued to your breast.[/quote]

That really speaks to the character of your DH, not the need for paternity leave. DHs should be doing a ton in those first weeks. [/quote]
