Should fathers be allowed paternity leave? By: Alexis N. Gee
I think all fathers should be allowed to have paternity leave as well as the mothers, who are allowed maternity leave. This gives the father a chance to bond with his newborn baby.
What is Paternity Leave? • The time a father can take off from his current job to spend with his newborn child.
Why should fathers get leave? • Bond with the newborn • Take care of household things • Take care of the family as well
Qualifications for leave • The man has to be the biological father or the adoptive father of the child. • He has to have a job.
If the father has started a new job, he has to work a full year before he takes off for leave.
Paternity leave all around the world is different . Not every country or state has the same notifications.
Many people believe that fathers shouldn’t have paternity leave.
A mother has to go through 9 months of changes with her body and her emotions.
Changes in Woman • Her body figure changes • Very emotional
Could a man deal with all of the things a mother has to go through with pregnancy???
Real Life example • Years ago a woman had a sex change to be a man and then she/ he wound up getting pregnant. The story was featured on Oprah and was aired nationally. It caused a lot of controversy. The man to day has had 3 children and has separated from his wife.
With the help of someone else, the mother is guaranteed to have a lot of stress relieved from her.
In conclusion, I believe every father should have a chance to take off leave to spend with his newborn child. Not only is it benefiting him but it benefits the mother and the baby.
