DH question about M.L.
RoosterMemphis
member
If this question has been asked before, my apologies....
im wondering if anyone's DH/SO plan on taking any leave from work after the baby is born? Mine works solely on commission, and we are hesitant to have him take longer than a week off, but he's getting flamed from my family for that (haha theyll take any chance they get, poor guy). We will make the decision based on what's best for us, but i thought id ask especially STM; will it be better having him longer than a week at home?

I asked two of my mom friends about this same thing. They both had the same answer .... "After a week of him home, you'll WANT him to go back to work. He can't really help feed and he's still in shock from all of the change.".....

DH's job gives him a full 12 weeks of 100% paid paternity leave! (He gets better benefits than me!)
We'll both be home during the first 12 weeks. After that his job is not very flexible so any additional off time will have to be taken my me
With DS we came home on a Saturday morning and DH was working that Monday. I was lucky enough to have my Dad still around to go and visit and get in some rest when needed, also, I have an amazing sister. DH was amazing though when he'd come home
1. I don't let my family flame my DH. I think its rude to not stand up for him.
2. my DH is only taking off a week or two if its a csection. he will save most his time off for later, when my maternity leave is over (if he ends up taking tim
He will take off when I am in the hospital but I think that will be it, hoping to have the csection on a Friday doctor says we'll decide next appt. He works 1.5 miles from home so he can be here in 5 minutes if needed. Also he is salary so he can leave

My DH was planning on using his week paid vacation time for when the baby is born, but his work situation is changing now and he is getting a much better job working as a partner with one of his good friends. He says he will still probably take a week
My husband also works for commission and we had the conversation about how long her wanted to take off, and what we could cope with financially.
He wanted to take a month, but that would cripple us financially, so I have asked him to just d
DH took off the day I had baby, and the day he brought me home... It was absolutely fine with me (and him), I'd rather him save time for a real vacation rather than sitting at home with me and the baby all day doing nothing. He spent plenty of ti

DH had to go back to work right away. I had lots of support so it was fine. He was able to take 2 weeks off about 2 months later, which was really nice.
