[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 1228080, member: 12570"] So your co-workers should get screwed because you want to stay home and play Daddy? As I said, if the person who wrote this is the birth mother then by all means stay home and take care of yourself and the baby. If the person is the father then IMO two weeks should be sufficient and then get your butt back to work. Both of my kids were born while I was on active duty and she was a RN working full-time. I forget how much time we were given but after two weeks she said I was driving her crazy and begged me to go back to "work". (I used the quotes because the work that I did while in the service paled in comparison to the work that I now do.) Her parents flew down to help out with every new grandchild so, really, I got in the way. After 4 weeks she was going stir crazy and couldn't wait to get back to work. I know that the program provides for [B]up to[/B] 6.5 weeks of unpaid leave but if the birth mother has a support network in place is there really any need for the father to stay home other than an excuse to miss Peak?
