The first three months of childcare are practically memoryless for the child. Provided they are cared for, you're not usually going to do any damage to their lives. An absent father during that period will be irrelevant so long as the child is fed, clothed, and kept comfortable. It's more about mechanical things.
It's pretty reasonable choice.
- ares623 1y agoHoly shit.
- saagarjha 1y agoThe first three months of childcare are not memoryless for you, though.
- renewiltord 1y agoOne's duty is to provide for one's child. One may indulge oneself with the memories of infancy but to prioritize duty is not shameful. It is what fathers and mothers have done throughout history.
- jonplackett 1y agoThis person clearly has the choice. And they made it. That’s up to them. But it makes me sad because paternity leave was the most rewarding and magical time of my life and brought meaning to everything else. That someone got paternity leave (many people don’t and are forced to work!) and just used it for something else, just makes me sad.

- jonplackett 1y agoThis comment also makes me so, so sad.
- HighGoldstein 1y ago> The first three months of childcare are practically memoryless for the child. Source? The fact that you can't remember this period _now_ does not mean it has no impact on a child's development.

- renewiltord 1y agoActually says the opposite in there if you cared to read your "source" lol.
- saagarjha 1y agoIt doesn’t, actually. In fact it repeats a few times that it’s not ok to be annoying here.
