[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand why the father needs to get paid time off? The mother is the one recovering. [/quote] He's caring for wife and baby. Like how grandmas used to help back in the day. I couldn't move the first few days after birth. And I nursed every 2 hours round the clock so didn't get more than 2 hours of sleep for a month or two (sleep deprivation affected my ability to drive and carry on conversations). I think 6 weeks is sufficient though... I personally think men should do 6 weeks and then when wife returns back to work, another 6 weeks. I don't think feds can split up leave though like that.[/quote] Feds can split it up. Both before and after Oct. 1 with the 12 weeks paid. For the latter, you have a year to use it. [/quote]
