Start your 4 weeks as the parasite that’s been feeding off your wife for the last 9 months is extracted from her body.4 weeks vacation coming up in a few weeks... no trip planned other than the mind-trip of adjusting to becoming a father and caring for a new born.
I assume I will be to tired for it to be an issue as I worry it might be now... but a month off and no trip planned. Shit, I best have a few projects lined up around the house. I have some big landscaping plans for this summer but assume our Canadian ground will be a bit too cold/stiff to do any major digging in late March / early April.

Thanks for the pep talkStart your 4 weeks as the parasite that’s been feeding off your wife for the last 9 months is extracted from her body.
That parasite will immediately destroy your life and any casual, plus some long term, relationships that you previously thought you held dear.
The fucked up thing is that you’ll accept that loss without question and love that crazy fucking parasite more than you had ever dreamed it was possible to love any living thing before it showed up in your life.
I can’t explain the change that came over me when Rex was born. It was as if everything I had accomplished to that point was meaningless. From there onward, that screaming, sleep stealing, puking, continuously excrementing, defenceless pile of skin and bones, safety, health and happiness were the only thing that mattered in my life.
Shit will suck. Things will go badly. But deep down you just won’t fucking care because your spawn is now and forever, more important than anything else will ever be.
Enjoy your 4 weeks bro.
It’s nice to have the option. I would wait and see how things go. You (and your wife) may enjoy going to work as a break from home.Thanks for the pep talk
It is long over due, we are the only ones of our friend group without children so I dont think it will kill any relationships, if anything, it will strengthen the relationships between me and my couple best friends who also recently became fathers over the last couple years. We have been that couple without any kids and money to burn. Now we join the family units for the family camping trips and so on. I look forward to it, I think it will improve some relationships in my life.
I have 4 weeks off starting on the birth date. Another 3 weeks off for 2019 vacation time and then am seriously thinking of doing the extended parental leave available in BC so that I can do 6-8 months off after her 10-12 months off with a month of overlap to have off together. If so, I will have the first half of 2020 off. I have never been off work for that long since I was 16. Still nervous about committing to it even though my work holds my position, I still accrue my holiday hours, seniority and yada yada. It will take some budgeting but one doesn't the opportunity often to enjoy that much time off with benefits.
She is already set on the idea she wants to return to work within a year. I like the idea of playing mr. dad for 6 months at about 40% my pay. A lack of day-care for infants is an issue in BC, we are severely lacking in childcare seats. This could play in impact in our decision. But yes, this is all being bright eyed and bushy tailed pre fatherhood.It’s nice to have the option. I would wait and see how things go. You (and your wife) may enjoy going to work as a break from home.
Congrats bro, I am sure you and your husband will be great parents.4 weeks vacation coming up in a few weeks... no trip planned other than the mind-trip of adjusting to becoming a father and caring for a new born.
