How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
I'm sorta not happy about my hubby's boss grooming his girlfriend (older couple) to be able to do all that my hubby does for his boss while my hubby isn't around.
My hubby thinks its no big deal but I (of course) worry that its too easy to give up your job security, so I asked why he was doing it.
"So when I have to take off time for you"
??? Like how much time is this man expecting. I thought maybe a week - two or three if I can nail my hubby down but that's it.
Problem is I am not sure he gets paid outside his vacation days.
How about yours?

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
DH was only going to take 2 weeks- the week I'm due and the week after. His boss told him to take the week before I'm due also because his OWN wife went a week before her due date. Dh is using his vacation and personal time for his 3 weeks.

Dh will probably take a week off, unless he has more vacation time...he is saving his days for September.

My hubby is planning on taking 2 weeks off after I have the baby. He is using his vacation days, so he will be paid.

My Dh has his own businesses, so I'd better NOT hear about him not being able to take some time!

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
My DH hasn't used any vacation or sick days for almost 2 years, so he can basically take what he wants. He will probably only take 2 or 3 days. It is my 3rd, so I am an old pro.

He's allowed to take as much time as he wants as he's second in charge, therefore, he can take what he wants. In reality, he will take a week or two.

My DH goes back to work the day after I come home from the hospital.  He doesn't get paid when he takes off.

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
DH will attempt to take a week off, but it really depends on what his workload is like. Hopefully, it will be slow at the office at the end of December. Other people in his office have had to come in to take care of things even though they were supposed to take time off to be with their wives and babies.

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
DH is eligible for a 2 week paternity leave. But he recently took a promotion and a Supervisor (same position as him) is on vacation the week of my due date. So DH is only going to take one week.
He'll probably take another week when the baby is a little older (3 months) and the dust settles and visitors are few and far between.

He's taking at least two weeks off.
ETA: This is vacation time. He doesn't get paternity leave.

We are hoping he can take a month off but no paternity leave at his company yet so we'll have to play it by ear.

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
DH is taking 2 weeks...and then days here and there throughout the summer. He has an insane amount of vacation days stocked up but he will definitely be connected to the office some/most of the time.

none - he is using his vacation and sick time to be with us, but will probably only take a week or two off.

He isn't "entitled" to any, but plans on taking 2 weeks.

Re: How much time (if any) is your hubby getting for the baby (maternity leave)
Mine gets 2 weeks paternity leave. He'll be doing some work from home during that time though I'm sure. He is never far from his Blackberry!
