Of a husband taking time off after you give birth is to help you right?
LOL YES. Though I'm likely to be sending mine away to run errands every now and then because I just know he's gonna drive me Crazy.
Yes, totally. To help mom while she recovers, to bond with baby, to work as a team to take care of baby.
I encouraged SO (significant other) to go back to work after the baby was born. He doesn’t have a leave per se anyway, but he would just drive me nuts being home with me all day. Sleeping when I wish I could be sleeping, etc.
Paternity leave is to help dad have plenty of time to bond with baby and help mom with her recover.
DH (dear husband) was amazing last time. He cooked all meals, did laundry, cleaned, ran errands and did diaper changes. This time around he will spend more time with DD, and taking her out, but I’m looking forward to having him at home.
Definitely to help out! My husband took 2 weeks off, one was because our little boy was born at 33 weeks and he was in the NICU. We were two and half hours from home. He didn't want to go home and leave me and our son alone to navigate the challenges and emotional rollercoaster that brings. When we moved back to a hospital closer to home he went back to work and then took a couple more days off when we brought our son home.
This was extremely helpful to me and I am so grateful for his love and support during that time.
I’m wishful think that mine could take more time to help me. I’m still pregnant but his plan is to take the couple days off for the birth & hospital stay (I’m getting my tubes tied the following day), then when we are released he is going back to work. He’s a farmer so he will be planting before the sun comes up and hours after the sun is down. I’m not happy about the thought. We already have 3 children, 7yr old, 5yr old, and almost 3 yr old. I just hope I have my energy back after I give birth. Right now I’m not sure if I will be able to do it alone after birth.
Just back from cruise with baby! Info and advice!!!
