Hi there, Diamond Glamor Girls;
I'm here to ask you Dad Leave? Like Mom Leave? I was recently reading a tweet on social media that's trending right now. As many of you know who follow my blogs I tend to have an opinion that doesn't always fall within the norms of society or social media. It read "Dad Leave in theory." Taking about taking time off work after the delivery of a baby. The truth is its called parental leave. Most corporation have this option for parents. Don't they? With a little planning you can create it for yourself.
I think if possible parents should use their vacation time, holidays, sick leave and anything else they have for the first few weeks after baby is born. What qualifies me to speak this way and voice my opinion. Years of being a preschool teacher, preschool director, volunteering in missions, teaching bible study and vacation bible study to children, also establishing several schools for not only my church, also the YMCA.
During the first few weeks of baby being home there is a great deal of sleep loss for parents. Mom's, womanes your lovers are not in their normal pattern of behavior. They are emotional and physically challenged. This is normal. It especially happens with first baby, second baby one knows what to expect. It takes time for the body to heal. Sharing the responsibility of raising children and helping mom get back on schedule would be great if both parent were avaiable. Therefore, I personally feel this would be a great idea. Paternity leave for both parents in order for them to have time to adjust to being a new parent.
If dad could take the kids to school without worrying he's going to be late to work, the stress would be off and I have seen it create a better marriage, better family, better workplace. The reverse is also true. If dad stayed up with the feedings then mom can do the extra things in the mornings.it's important for both to bond with baby.
Here are some tips.
1. As soon as you know mom is pregnant. You know it will take 9 months. That's normal time. Tell the work place sometime between this month and this month I will be taking time off. The moth before the baby is due and the month after.
2. Calculate time you have. Vacation time and sick leave. If you have paternity leave add that if you don't. Find out what other options you have.
3. Ask mom when she would like you to take time off. Since she can stay in the hospital up to three days for natural childbirth, have her do so. I'm sharing this from experience. With my first child I came home right away, after 24 hours and regrets. Had to ask for help from family, due to they birth canel completely healing. The second child, I took the doctors advice and stayed the three days. I am so glad.
(I want any man reading this and be forwarded she'll hate you if you touch that part of her. The pain is greater than you imagine.)
4. Having her choose will give her a feeling of having some control in the situation. There are many "ifs" when a woman is pregnant. Knowing your in the parenting together will help her.
5. Once she explains her thoughts than do the best you can. It will be okay.
For parents adopting the parenternity leave should be work out according to the delivery or pick up date of the child I'm not sure what they call it.
This what I have witness parenternity leave do for a family.
1. Bonding between family members.
2. The love between couple grows, due to understanding and gentalness.
3. Dad's that are overworked, Overstreet get to witness those first few days that make the children / parent relationship.
4. Dad's feel more a part of the family.
5. Dreams, wishes and expectations for the child are spoken in whispers. That's as good as it gets between a couple. Don't wake baby before his time.
6. There is nothing as gentle as the touch of holding a newborn in your hands.
7. It is a gift from God above, even if you don't believe it God, you will. It's His will.
ThIs is not the the answer to a perfect marriage. It the beginning of a relationship with a child. You may or may not have made the decision to have. Having it him or her is the beginning of blessings. Sometimes good sometimes bad, count them all blessing.
