Unpopular opinion: paternity leave doesn't need to be multiple months long in the vast majority of situations. Maternity leave is different of course. Six weeks is luxuriously long for the most common situation. Perhaps on your first child you should get a bit more. Nine months is excessive for paternity leave. I can't comment to maternity leave, but it would make more sense there. Long paternity leave drives everyone crazy.
