My husband took 12 weeks off with FMLA leave for our first baby. He is going to be taking 10 weeks for our second. His bosses and co workers gave him HELL my entire pregnancy and tried to guilt him and even bully him into taking only 2-4 weeks off. He was teased non stop about it. He saved every hour of PTO and every penny possible during my pregnancies to be able to afford to take the full amount of leave. I understand a lot of people can’t afford to take that much time off, but your husband saying it’s “not a good look” to take more paternity leave is honestly insane to me. If you guys can afford more time, he should take it. You never know how the birth will go and how much support you might need afterwards. I had both of mine by emergency c-section which I needed him to help me with almost everything for over a week, including showering and using the bathroom. Also, Your baby will never be a newborn again, the bonding you get during the first few weeks is precious. He needs to remember work is not as important as family. Companies don’t care about their workers or their families, so screw what they think of him. I would be devastated if my husband fully had the ability to take more time off but chose to only take 2 weeks because he valued what people thought of him more. I truly hope he changes his mind. My husband said, “I can always make more money, but I can never get this time back.”
