How much time off will you take?

[BensDad]

As the birth of our second baby gets closer, I was just wondering how much time do you all plan to take off from work when your baby is born? I have almost 4 weeks accumulated, and am planning to take two weeks when the baby is born for sure, maybe three. How about you?

I took 2 weeks off and then went back to work. I think each dad can decide how much time they want to take off. How much time you take off depends on your job, how much help your wife has and other things.

I took a week off as that is the only vacation time I had. I wish I could have been home longer than that though. I believe you are lucky to have that much time off and be able to spend it with you new child!
