Panfilo posted:I can definitely attest that being a stay at home parent is one helluva full time job. Several of my (single, male) coworkers thought I was pulling some hustle to get extra paid time off work, as though it was a vacation and not being a responsible parent. Still, thank Christ I don't live in one of the uncivilized states where it's like "Use all your PTO and then get fired" if you actually want to bond with your offspring.

Resting Lich Face posted:Man gently caress those guys. I think that's why the whole stay at home dad gig gets such dubious credibity. For every guy being a great dad and involved in pulling their weight, there's probably two others riding on the concept of being so 'progressive' as an excuse to do as little as possible.

So to just go "take some time off and take care of screaming, making GBS threads, puking infant and keep it from dying all by yourself" really isn't a great solution.

My [18/M] close friend/FWB [45/F] is moving away, I have feelings for her and don’t know what I could doquote:I have known my close friend [45/F] for a year and we have been close since I met her. I started sleeping around with her and I see her everyday, I even sleep at her house on the weekends. She and I hang out a lot, we watch movies, shows, and she always wants me to come over.

So to just go "take some time off and take care of screaming, making GBS threads, puking infant and keep it from dying all by yourself" really isn't a great solution. Depending on the couple's strategy, paternity leave can be used directly after mom goes back to work to maximize the amount of time the baby has with a full time parent. At least in CA each parent can take six weeks paid+six weeks unpaid which means that child will get the first six months of their life with mom then dad before both have to go to work. That's being pretty optimistic though, since childbirth can be hard on many women. What sucks is how much pressure parents have to return to work, not just dads but moms as well. My sister in law only took a few weeks off after she had a kid because her work threw such a massive guilt trip for her to come back sooner and my brother was unemployed at the time.

My wife had a difficult labor and was pushing for a solid 4 hours. After our son was born she was pretty much out of commission for the two weeks that I had for paternity leave and I was on full time duty. It was taxing, even with a kid that was very easy by infant standards. It's hard to imagine her pulling that job solo during the day with the shape she was in.

Having a kid absolutely wrecks a body for a period, I don't think many people realize how major of a deal it really is. Correct. Without going into more detail than necessary, the first few weeks of my leave were not in fact taking care of the baby at all (as he was still in the NICU) but helping my wife convalesce and recover from the birth--that is, doing literally everything she wasn't able to from a bed. No idea how we would have handled this at all had we been in the Midwest, other than going broke and potentially into crippling debt. ghost emoji posted:It sort of reminds me of people who call it "babysitting" any time a dad watches his own kids.

No idea how we would have handled this at all had we been in the Midwest, other than going broke and potentially into crippling debt. Yeah I suspect we're going to look back and realized how much it cost us not to support parents during and after childbirth. I realize theres limits to what we're willing to do, but if you step back for a moment and think about the profound effect something like postpartum depression has on someone ability to re-enter the work force (and let's face it, we basically treat all mental health with an attitude of "oh just get over it, everyone gets sad jeeze") and it's not hard to imagine that it's costing us a lot as a society, both in terms of happiness and simple economic value.

ghost emoji posted:Can my father legally request my voting records as a condition of a trust fund? (self.legaladvice) Predictably, the Trump supporter wants punitive measures that only exist to bully and hurt people worse off than him. Also predictably: they are ineffective, as the only record of a person's voting is if they voted, not how they voted. All the son has to do is register as an Independent and lie about his vote if necessary.
