Re: Paternity Leave??
mine gets 4 days off. Luckily, he also gets 3 days off for the holidays, since they will run into each other, we lucked out.

Re: Paternity Leave??
He works for a small company and I don't think they offer a set policy.
All of the other sales execs work from home so he is planning on working from home during the am and going into the office from 12-4:30 each afternoon. His mom is going to come and help in the afternoon.
I REALLY need him here as much as possible considering I am breastfeeding the twins.

Re: Paternity Leave??
We are very fortunate. My DH gets 5 weeks vacation and 1 week paternity. SOOO he saved most of his time up so he can stay home all of December. It will be nice to have a month together especially around the holidays.

Re: Paternity Leave??
My Dh works in a public school. He's planning on taking a week and a half right after  is born. Then once I go back to work, he'll take another 12 weeks under FMLA.

Re: Paternity Leave??
I wish! DH is in private practice and teaches evenings--he went back to work the day after I came home from the hospital 
This time, at least the college semester will be just about over when I am due, so that's not a concern. Hopefully, he can be at least a bit more flexible with his daytime hours.

Re: Paternity Leave??
I mean he's going to have to do just about EVERYTHING else
Laundry, cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc.
And no, he doesn't have boobs, Kara.
He's always said, if he did he'd never leave the house

Re: Paternity Leave??
My DH can take FMLA, but since that is unpaid, we can't really do that.
He works for the FDNY, so he does 4 days on, 3 days off, 5 days on, 2 days off. I am due right before a 3 day swing, so hopefully I will go on time.
He also does mutuals with a friend of his so that he will get 3 or 4 days at a clip. This actually really helps us with the child care issue. My SMIL will watch the bambino when we both ave to work, which some weeks is 5 days, so weeks is only 1 day.

Re: Paternity Leave??
we are pretty lucky - dh gets 3 weeks peternity leave and it does not include his regular 5 weeks vacation that he gets. but he will only take the 3 when she is born - i rather him use his regular 5 wks for the rest of the year.

Re: Paternity Leave??
DH is taking 2 weeks. Don't know if his company offers paternity (has to look into it) but he's taking 2 weeks either way (vacation or paternity).

Re: Paternity Leave??
DH took just about a week off for the first. I wish it had been longer. This time I think it will be more, but unfortunately it comes from his personal/sick/vacation days.

Re: Paternity Leave??
Mine can take up to 4 weeks. He will most likely take only 2 though because he works on commission and his paternity pay is based on his regular pay.

Re: Paternity Leave??
DH's job paid for 5 days paternity and DH also used 2 vacation days- so he was off the Thursday I was induced, the next day and then the entire next week. He was with me for a total of 9 days.

Re: Paternity Leave??
DH has no paternity leave but he has a lot of vacation accrued. He will take one week off when the baby is born and then intersperse some days here and there afterwards.
