Should Men Get Paternity Leave?

Home More advice Kids

This is something me and my fiance were talking about last night.

When I had my son Noah, his boss only gave him 2 days off of work. Now remember that I was in Labor for 18 hours - so the whole 2 days he had off work - I was in the hospital in Labor and having my son. The second night in the hospital he couldn't even stay with me because he had to work. I had to get a close friend to stay and help me out. Then after I went home - I had to get friends and family to come help me with Noah because I was still recovering. He had to work.

So my question is - should men get Paternity Leave also?
