Patricia would be working at the hospital another three hours. When Jason was born, we were better prepared. I had already transferred my work to the house and was spending most of my days handling cases from here. This time we made the choice to split the duties of child rearing and bill paying. In direct contrast to the stoic, hands-off approach taken by their fathers, many men today are making opportunities to spend time with their children.
Paternity leave is no longer just a concept.
