I think you've romanticized maternity leave...it isn't a vacation unless your version of vacation is sleep exhaustion, hormonal imbalances, and being a milk machine 😂

Just take PTO lol

...or the poopy diapers, teenage angst, hormonal rage. And a decade or two of your IQ being lower than a rock.

Since you’re a male you should have the guts to take a leave of absence.

Woman here and I’m dreading the thought of having to make up for a potential maternity leave during my “productive” years. Oh, not to mention that hiring gets difficult at a certain age because you’re a risk group that could unexpectedly go into maternity leave.

Grow some bawls and take a long vacation.

At ACCENTURE I got 8 weeks of paid paternity leave at 100% salary. Not as cool as the 16 week maternity leave but pretty sweet nonetheless.

Here’s the solution... get two separate girls pregnant... time it so that you can do back to back paternity leave and boom... similar to maternity leave...

M4 then I might as well get 6 girls pregnant each year to be in perpetual paternity leave without working at all 😂

I got a whole 2 PTO weeks of “paternity” leave compared to my wife’s 3 months. And I still woke up every single night. This country doesn’t value dads in that department

Even 3 months is not enough for maternity leave. Parental leave in the US is largely a joke

I think you may have romanticized pregnancy and you are either unaware or choosing to ignore the risks associated with pregnancy. Pregnancy is not an easy tool for “extra vacation time”

Male it in my man

Move to sweden and get a woman pregnant, you’ll be just fine...

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
