Bringing a new baby home significantly alters household dynamics, demanding a reevaluation of shared responsibilities between partners. On a Reddit thread, a mother expresses frustration with her husband's planned golfing during his paternity leave, citing her limited PTO. She highlights that while he is entitled to six months of paid leave if designated as the primary caregiver, he only took two weeks after their first child's birth. This disparity in responsibilities leaves her feeling overwhelmed as she managed the lion's share of night duties during that time.
"I have a limited time of PTO; he has unlimited. That sets the tone for how we divide parenting responsibilities, and I feel overwhelmed already."
"6 months full paid IF he claims primary parent, but he only took two weeks after our first child, which made things difficult for me."
