How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
DH can technically take off as much as he wants but he is planning on 4 work days. He originally said 2 days.
I will have my mom and then MIL helping me out with the baby and older kids.

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
With my first he took off one work week. DD was born on a Monday that was a holiday, so technically he only took off 4 work days.
For #2, he found out he was eligible to take more time, so I think he took 2 weeks.

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
He had a week's vacation planned around my due date (he had to pick his vacation weeks in December for the whole year)
I gave birth a day before my due date so he just had to take a day or 2 off before his week's vacation kicked in.
However a week's vacation for him is actually 10 days (regular days off plus the week off)
So he was probably home close to 2 weeks before he had to go back

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
For our first, one week.
For our second, two weeks. Probably the same for #3.
Some of my male coworkers have taken off a month+, but I know that's definitely not the norm.

He's worked for different companies for both dc, and both offered 2 full weeks paid paternity. With this one he did go back a day early, bc the day he should have gone back was the start of a 3 day weekend, and he didn't want to take advantage

My first I think a week.
With our second she was in nicu for just over a week and he was running to work at 6am almost every morning to get things in order even though he technically took off. I think he took maybe 8 days and then it was thanksgiving so he was off the rest of that second week.

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
With our newest baby, I was hospitalized for over a week in preterm labor and then with the birth. He needed to take care of our older kids so he took off a total of two weeks I think. With our second, he just started his current job and only took off one day. It was awful.
As an aside, I wish this country would start giving paid paternity and maternity leave. Just a few days off for a new baby is just not enough. And if you don't have vacation time, forget it.

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
For my first, DH had to go to work the day after the baby was born, but I was still in the hospital. I think he took off 2 or 3 days.
With my second, he was in the middle of changing jobs so he was home for 2 weeks.

Yep we are SO ass backward when it comes to that compared to Europe and South America.
We are actually the worst, right up there with 3rd world countries.
I had just started a new job so I had no vacation or personal time. I had to go unpaid and come back in 6 weeks because I couldn't afford to be unpaid for any longer.
Disgraceful

DH took 4 work days with our third. The first two were about the same. He claimed he would take more but he took under a week each time.

Re: How much time off did DH take when baby was born?
DS 1 and 2- he took off 2 weeks.
DS3- he worked somewhere different and they give 6 weeks paid paternity and maternity. He ended up taking about 7 weeks off because he added some vacation days. It was the best thing ever because I had a difficult c-section recovery and it was over the summer so he was able to take the big kids to the beach etc while I rested.
