re: Men With Paid Paternity Leave

My grandson was born premature. His mother had medical issues which caused them to take the baby early. The baby had severe breathing issues and it took over a week and a half before a doctor would even say that the baby would survive. He had to be transported by a specially equipped ambulance from one hospital to another to get access to equipment the first hospital didn't have. This experience showed me the need for paternity leave for the father. The mother also struggled with issues for weeks. My wife and I had 4 children and I don't remember missing more that a day of work each time. It depends on the circumstance.
