I used to think that paternity-leave was almost useless, that 2 to 3 weeks was plenty. Then I had a kid :) Now I can't understand why it's not self-evident that a couple needs at least a couple of months off after having a baby. Both of them, together, to figure this sh*t out! It would be great if the parents could get equal leave, but parents are not equal, blame nature. If a couple decides to go with breast-feeding there isn't much alternatives.
