Should men be given paternity leave?

@Mary I like your picture, but you should show some thigh. They're woman's best part, and they go well with that metal in your hand.

Paternity leave makes sense, but then I dislike the current insane focus on working all the hours of day throughout the year, so I would be pleased with any extra holiday any of us can get!

I believe it is up to the new parents. If a man is dedicated enough to want to spend 6 weeks home with his wife and new baby, then I think it is great!

I once new a guy who was a first time father, he was a very dedicated husband and I had no doubts that he was going to be the same as a father. He requested from work that he would like to take "paternity leave" because he felt there should be no discrimination as a father because he said he was just as responsible for bringing their child into the world and it was just as much his responsibility to help his wife with their new baby. He worked for a school district, so he got 6 weeks paid leave.

I am not saying that all employers should have to pay for a whole 6 weeks of leave, but I think they should be supportive of it. I guess the reason why they offer 6 weeks is because it gives the mother (who actually went through the birth) time to re cooperate and allow her body time to get back into order.
