Um, so a breastfeeding mom and all other mothers who need to bond with their infant for the good of emotional health and well being doesn’t deserve any more time off work than the father would get? How do you figure that? I’m all for letting dad’s take some time away, a manager at my job just did. But if having to choose between one or the other an infant needs its mother a little bit more wouldn’t you say?
1. Decide how much parental leave you feel that mothers should get starting at the birth of each baby
2. Realize that fathers getting the exact same amount of parental leave starting at the birth of each baby doesn’t mean the mother getting any less
They should both get the same amount of parenting time.
Anything else is government-enforced disenfranchisement of fatherhood.
