I would do 3-4 weeks right off the bat. Then take additional weeks at the 6,9,12 month mark (roughly). Babies are all kinds of different challenges in the first year. So while time off at the beginning is important. Your partner will appreciate the extra hands in later intervals after the initial family support tapers off.
When I had a baby my husband was home for 2 weeks straight. I think 3 would have been even better
This is so sad. I thought 6 wks was the norm. My husband took 5 and it def wasn’t enough. Ugh, advertising. CD, take as much as you possibly can!
4 months for all parents 👍🏼👍🏼
Ride into the sunset and never look back
Hahaha wuut
Incredibly complicated question. On the one hand, u r entering into a time in ur career when u will take more than u give, in terms of sick days, family leave, etc. As long as u agree to cheerfully pay that debt forward to the next generation of parents, and try to minimize the impact on ur peers in real time, I say take whatever time u feel u need. But one reality is that older parents who didn’t get paternity leave may not be as enthusiastic about paying something forward that they didn’t receive. Just a wild ass guess, but I’d reckon they would interpret anything more than two weeks as u milking the system. Since older parents in the agency tend to b the ones who decide who stays and goes during layoffs, I don’t think u can’t afford to ignore their feelings, even if u don’t agree with them.
Make sure to discuss it thoroughly with your (work) partner and supervisor way in advance. Not sure where those suggesting six months work, because I’d feel ok about three weeks, happy with four, and thrilled with five weeks or more. Also, unless you’ll be using daycare, go for an agreement to work from home one day a week for the next 4-6 months. Your baby-mama will appreciate both the partnership and the companionship. And you’ll be a better employee. I’m a dad, btw.
I had 6 weeks and it was great. Lots of time to self care and take care of my wife and newborn. I had only 2 weeks with my first and I regret not taking more. You will NEVER get that time back.
I took two weeks. Three would've been nice.
For hip agencies, 6 weeks is the norm for dad, 12 for mom.
Do they specialize in hip and knee replacements ?
4 weeks at least.
6 months is the law in many countries. So it must be reasonable
Unfortunately in the US, reasonable and acceptable are not the same thing.
My old agency gave me 3 weeks and then after I got back, 4 weeks severance and Cobra 😞
Eesh.
