re: How did you handle paternity leave?

You agree 100% that work comes first before your family? Nah
No, I think there is a time for work and a time for family. I had four kids in 4.5 years before I was 30. You’d be hard pressed to find a better family man than I was when we were raising kids. I worked my overtime between 5 AM and 7 AM, when work officially started. I was home at 4:35 every afternoon. I never went on guys’ trips, never fished or hunted, and never played golf. I had two weeks of vacation each year, and other than that, I was at work.
But the young candy-asses will say my generation had it easier.
Clarification: There are a hell of a lot of good young folks; I’m talking about the ones who whine.

Married only once.
As the managing partner who signed off on his FMLA (which was his right by law) as well as paychecks while was out (to which he was not entitled but I granted anyway in deference to his having a young family), that left me with a diminished opinion of him.

What’s weird about it? I was answering a guy who accused me of putting work before family. I was pointing out that I put family first.

Assuming your wife is going back to work in a few months, I would save some of that time if you can. Babies get sick a lot, and one of you will have to stay home with the sick kid. If the time can be used as needed, I would save a good bit for that.

Yes, they are called doctors, lawyers, engineers and CPAs.
If you are a partner you are making three bills minimum.
But that kind of career comes with sacrifice. Welcome to the real world.

Not to burst your stick, but in Trump’s first term through his daughter, Ivanka, was a yuge proponent of paid maternity and paternity leave.

None of us come close to clearing 300K
I think your idea of “young baw” is different than mine. Nobody in there 20’s is a managing partner in their respective firms.

As a manager, this is a crap take.
My direct reports will not perform to the best of their ability if they’re sleep deprived or feeling stressed out from trying to balance parenthood and work. Also if reassigning work is an issue, you need to do a better job of managing your people’s workload.
OP, my husband got 4.5 months of leave and took it all. Between his leave and mine, none of our kids started daycare until 8 months. The first few weeks as a new parent are magical and special, but you won’t feel rested for a long time (going on 4 years of sleep deprivation)
We found that shifts worked best for us. So I would sleep like 7pm-1am (I did last diaper and feed then) and my husband would cover the first and second wake up then go to be at like midnight. I’d cover any wake ups after that. It helped us both get rest!
Enjoy the time and congratulations

My job gives me 6 weeks at 66%, future wife's job gives three months at 100%. Our plan is for me to stay the first month at home, and then the first two weeks the future wife goes back to work I'll spend home with the kiddo. This is assuming I'm not shooting blanks.
