ow long did you take?
It was about 3 to 5 days for each of my sons. Then I went back to work on the rig. The ladies in our family stepped up and helped after that. It was a joyous occasion. Not one to be looked at like work. One of my sons had jaundice and had to be in one of the light machines at home. But we enjoyed and loved our babies. I drove the extra hour and a half home every day so I could see them, but I still worked.

Absolutely laughable. I guess your wife didn’t have to have a c section? Or pre eclampsia? Shut the hell up
My wife had a C section on a Wednesday and I was back at work on Monday. Like others said, dudes taking maternity leave is just milking it and employers take notice when it's raise/promotion time

Clever, how many of you remember your first steps and who was there? When's the first birthday that you remember? Are you the type of person that throws a $3,000 birthday party for their third birthday? Probably. Go to work

16 weeks paid leave. My bonus is pro-rated though. I won't take anywhere near that, but it's nice that it's there in case. We lose a lot of people in their 30s; this is a way to keep them around a bit longer.
This is the best benefit my company offers IMO. More American companies should do this.

I wouldn't have turned it down had it been offered to me.

the first 5 years are the most formative years of a child's life, yet we remember hardly any of it
your point is quite possibly the dumbest post on in this thread

I see a lot of people say the breakdown in communities is the breakdown of stable families. I then see those same people argue against paid Mat/pat leave. Beyond stupid.
Paid parental leave isn’t the basis for the breakdown of stable families, encouraging both men and women to think career first, family second conjoined with the whole “We can do anything men can” move of feminism and a cherry on top of society as while no longer shunning, belittling, and completely shitting on dead beat fathers has lead to this.
People not receiving parental leave isn’t what caused this breakdown. Now, I’m for paid maternity leave and paid paternity, but think they should be different lengths of time; anything to incentivize strong families I’m a fan of.
But I’ve seen this happen 4 times in my industry and heard from many others that women will take a full year of maternity leave, and on the Monday they come back submit their 2 weeks notice. That’s their right, but man does it just seem shitty.

I would say you are probably 100% correct. The issue is were those men correct? Is it more important to be a good father or a leader who is looked up to? As a father and a husband there are exactly 3 people on the planet whose opinion of me matters a tinkers dam to me...my wife and 2 kids. If they look up to me I am a success and damn the opinion of anyone else. A lot of those men who are leaders and are looked up to have severe issues with their families and are often not the kind of people most of us would like to count as friends. Not always, some are great men who were also great husbands and fathers, but the number who were leaders but lousy husbands and fathers is not small in number....

No doubt. Some of these dumbasses spend more time off work for a hunting trip than they do for the birth of their child.
To be fair, a hunting trip restores my sanity and literally puts food on the table. Birth of my child did the exact opposite
And if you couldn’t tell, I’m being sarcastic.

Yes and during those 5 years, if you have a parent that is at home and teaching them and the other parent coming home at night or whenever they are off of work teaching them that teaches them so much more. Such as a work ethic. That is what happened and happens before all this soft shite. But I suppose you are one of those that throw the $3,000 birthday parties for a 3-year-old, I wonder how that forms them?

What industry do you work in that women in the united states get a year off for maternity?

Why? They won't remember it. Who cares. Get back on the rig.

Yes, if my attitude towards my kids isn't "they won't remember it, so who cares if I'm there" that must mean I spend $3k on their 3rd birthday.

You must not work that hard if you're coming home before your toddler is in bed for the night.

Both parents should have paid leave. Shoot, as messed up as it the UK is, they get a year. Work is not the most important thing in life. I’ve leaned that as I’ve gotten older.

Believe it or not, oil and gas. These major corporations have insanely expansive and all encompassing benefits packages, and with such a dramatic push/emphasis for women to populate STEM roles many companies are recognizing that most of these women are in dual income households where an extra $10K for a career is of marginal benefit to the family. Because of that, they are focusing more on the non-monetary benefits such as maternity leave, greater number of sick days and allowing child care emergencies to count as sick days, HSA’s and other Saving’s programs used for childcare, etc.

No. It teaches kids that dad would rather be offshore than spending time with them and whether you believe it or not, kids notice. They aren’t dumb.
