Accenture 🐠 what is the paternity leave policy? Having our second and leave looks like secondary gets 2 weeks but are we allowed to take primary once our wife goes back to work?

As a dad I took primary for my last child and for the full eight weeks, no questions asked. There is not any type of justification process to prove you are primary or secondary.

You do have to complete the leave within 16 weeks of the birth, the key here that it has to be completed. Therefore you must start it within 8 weeks after the birth. If you wait until your wife finishes hers, depending on how long hers is, you may not be able to take all 8 weeks.

same, took 8 weeks no questions asked.

My leave coordinator said I would be crazy to not do primary. It helped after my wife had a c section and really needed more help than expected.

Prioritize better

You can try to work it out to be flexible with your team too. I took primary but actually worked for half of it and then charged time wks 16-20 to make up for it to the project. Made it so wife went back to work and I did the 8 wks plus added another 5 of PTO

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Do you think all these violent and hate filled attacks are because people aren't getting the emotional/mental support they need, whether it's therapy at any age or help they needed but didn't get from a social worker as a child? My coworker is sure this is the case, but I honestly think there's actually something deeper wrong either with how these people are being raised as children, or how the warning signs these people give off are ignored or swept under the rug to save face.
