How long did your partner get for paternity leave?

Hi,

Dh took a month off- we were ready to kill each other by the three week point He took it from his built up holidays.

With DD1 hubby worked with mates so he was home for about 4 days....

DD2 he was working from home so til he went back to FT work he'd been with us for 3 months...

Now he back home again so he will be here!!

I dont think id cope if he wasnt home ALL the time

Sorry to hijack but I just wondered if any of you found that instead of DH taking time off at the start, you would have appreciated the help more later?

I think the two-month mark would have been good for us - when DD was a bit more alert and it was harder work to get her to sleep after her play time.

Yup Fiona, that why DF took a week off at 6 weeks and then at 10 weeks I think. It was because we figured by that time I would be in serious need of a break on each interval.
The Wednesdays at the start were a great way to break up the week, I recommend that to everyone!
