I was fortunate enough to get paternity leave and had 9 weeks off. I am not a man with a ton of hobbies. Holy shit guys they have us brainwashed. I never even once felt I had “run out of things to do”. I felt alive in a way I haven’t since childhood. I think our girl is better off for having that time with both of us also.
Everyone should have that opportunity. I think it would allow people to really bond with their kids. Even people who don’t have kids should get it, shit it’s so good to choose what you do every day I still feel refreshed almost 2 years later.
