Proud new papa on paternity leave
On Wednesday I’m attending an event focused on how to get men more vocal in the work/life discussion. Especially how to get them to participate more in some of the programs and policies available at their workplace. But it’s hard. While we’ve come a long way since Mr. Mom. Men also face career penalties for wanting a better work life fit.
But the world of work is changing.
I am thrilled to announce the my husband’s little brother is a brand new proud papa. He couldn’t be more over the moon. And he will be home to enjoy the first two weeks, entirely. He took the paternity leave offered and never questioned that he could/should/would. He is GenY, his household is more 50/50 when it comes to the workload at home, and he has no qualms about taking time off from work to be with his family. It’s just seems to be the normal thing to do.
How nice.
