True, I missed the word "paid" out. It's still an horrendous omission though being left to the discretion of individual employers to offer it. Between that and only being guaranteed two weeks vacation time, no wonder so many American workers get burned out. But but more work, more productive, well sorry, studies show that isn't the case, most likely the opposite, and the US is generally seen as the most overworked nation in the world.

I'm glad to hear that you're able to take some quality paternity leave too, we get two weeks paid by default here in the UK (which I took), and likewise I could have shared some of the full paid time off from the better half, but chose not to, we discussed it and she had all the allocation. In fact there's NO maximum maternity leave limit here, you just receive less money after six months instead of full pay. I still had some money left from my previous redundancy so I suplemented our income with some of that to give her more time with our daughter. Who then went straight into nursery when she returned to work heh.

Should have quoted IMJ there as that's who I was mostly referring to.
