It’s a lot more important in that situation. I’m always shocked working with Americans and we say goodbye to someone going on parental leave, and it seems like the next meeting they’re back and I can’t imagine how they do it.
My parental leave started the spring the pandemic hit and living in the middle of nowhere made it very relaxing. Switched everything to home delivery, had nothing else to do, would just grab a few beers and go on a 10k walk for the afternoon with the stroller, was baking and cooking every day. At that stage I’d just bring her outside and give her like a half of a watermelon we’d scooped out and that would be entertainment for the day lol

It’s hard for men in the US to get any parental leave at all. I used 1 week of vacation time that I had saved up and then back to work.
