Strictly speaking from a BR standpoint, this is far from a true statement. Young people want their starter home to look like their parents' forever home. Fact.
I do realize that some people need to use day cares. This should not be the norm.

Im curious how many people on this thread actually run teams and depend on others.

Congrats!
I took a week off. The first couple of weeks were the most difficult.

I'm curious how we have so many managers here that don't seem capable of handling a scenario that they know is a possibility due to long standing laws regarding FMLA.

My entire direct family is doing great and as a unit we are prospering quite well, actually well ahead of schedule. The direct family unit is extremely important, and everyone should try to keep it formed. The amount of money you can save by having the family operate as a unit is life changing and I highly recommend it.
For the record, I'm talking direct family, not cousins or any of that horseshite.

I got six weeks for both kids. For my first, I used two weeks, then had 4 weeks of flex time for doctor's appointments, and whatever I wanted to use it for. I regret not just taking the six weeks. For my second child, I took the six weeks and enjoy the time at home with my wife and son.

When my son was born I had to use a week of vacation and a week of PTO.
When my daughter was born the policy had been revamped and I could have taken up to 6 weeks that did not pull from my vacation or PTO time. Ended up taking 4.

So you choose work over family?
Not getting on you, you do you. But I can't and won't do that.

I get the 'family first' chorus, truly, but imo the most important things for men - and in fact the only seriously important things - are to protect and provide.
If you just fathered a child, you need to get your arse to work.

I'm self employed as well. I had this overwhelming urge to go to work when both of my children were born. I was working the day after and every day since. I did all of the coaching, scout leading, etc. when they got older though.

My company gives fathers 6 weeks paid leave. With my first two, I took 2 weeks of saved up PTO immediately following the births and waited until my wife’s 12 weeks were up and took my 6 weeks paternity leave for 1:1 time.
My 3rd is due in May and I plan to take most all of whatever PTO I have plus leave because last kid, want to enjoy the shite out of it.
Congrats on impending fatherhood. It’s tough but the most rewarding thing on earth

There was nothing like that when my kids were born, at least not where I worked. But my youngest just got her Masters Degree so that was long ago.
I know guys who took what they could as well as paid "bonding time" the company I contract to offers their direct employees (not contractors like me
). Most of them bonded with their deer stand
