You frickers without kids crack me up.
People that take 8 weeks off for a child would crack me up. There is no way it takes two parents to be at home 24 hours a day for eight weeks.
Go in and work a few hours each day and take the full eight weeks? I could understand that. If you are pretending to need to be home 24 hours a day for eight weeks then I can only imagine other stuff you would pretend to do? Is the 9th week some kind of magic moment when a father is no longer needed? Of course not. There are 24 hours in a day. If you cannot work four-eight hours and still give your baby's mother eight hours of relief and help with overnight time then something is wrong with you or you are lazy.
Being a parent requires a lot of sacrifices. Sleep deprivation is just one of those things. Showing your employer you care and need your job is one of those sacrifices.

Maybe having and raising kids should be about doing more than the bare minimum to get by while devoting my life to work? Just maybe.
Benefits aren’t just meant to give you the bare minimum necessary to make it through life. They are part of my compensation and a benefit to myself and my family so that I can spend more than the bare minimum time at home.

My company gives parental leave for "parental bonding" and not because it is hard to take care of a kid.

People who don't take parental leave in our office typically show decreased work performance.
People who do take parental leave end up reinvigorated when they come back. Both for being new parents and beacuse they are bored at home and ready to end their break.
