I thought my husband's company was being generous when they recently started their 2 weeks paternity leave policy (of which he was only able to take a week, since he's very swamped with tasks)!<br /><br />I'm pretty intrigued by this housecleaner thing. How much work does it save you in day-to-day cleanup? Or is it more the occasional tasks, like mopping and dusting?<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00662784804825998751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110043840487024804.post-1381284293325600782016-05-03T20:28:17.472-04:002016-05-03T20:28:17.472-04:00Caitlyn, I have been reading your blog for a while...Caitlyn, I have been reading your blog for a while, and I think you are an amazing mother. I was thrilled for you that you were able to experience the birth that you had with Betsy. I just had my third baby a bit after Betsy was born. And, I just started going to Pure Barre! I really like it. It's tough, but hang in there. I leaned about you from a mutual church friend, so maybe I'll see you there sometime. ~KathyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868961308091122298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110043840487024804.post-44200854131714881372016-05-03T09:39:12.092-04:002016-05-03T09:39:12.092-04:00I'm very jealous.

It is wonderful, I can only hope more companies get in line! We are expecting our second and I will have 6 weeks covered, then take 6 weeks unpaid and my husband will have no paid leave. He is a part time stay at home parent and will probably just take a few unpaid days so we have a solid week or two with both of us home.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09618013419836524856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110043840487024804.post-61743344861206571862016-05-01T23:32:26.021-04:002016-05-01T23:32:26.021-04:00I totally understand and hope you do!

I miss blogging, but I've found myself becoming more and more conservative about Connor's "internet footprint" as he gets older, and his little life is so intertwined with mine right now that it's hard to write anything I'm comfortable sharing with the big wide Internet! I keep saying I'm going to get back to posting recipes and crafty things occasionally though!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800024123436524522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110043840487024804.post-38581178056507643112016-04-30T20:19:53.643-04:002016-04-30T20:19:53.643-04:00Jealous here too!

Chuck will possibly take 2 days off this time around (meaning 4 if you consider that he doesn't work weekends anymore!)... which would be better than with Maria, I guess! But that is awesome that Adam's company is so family-friendly. It must be so nice for the girls, as well as you, to be able to spend so much time with daddy!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06914343351803930748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110043840487024804.post-53314331118487122952016-04-30T20:06:14.200-04:002016-04-30T20:06:14.200-04:00Katie, I was an avid reader of your blog!

Jeff has zero paternity leave other than taking vacation days, so we've been restricting our vacations this year and last year. He was allowed to carry over a maximum of 10 days from last year, which we did. We canceled a Mexico trip we had planned for this summer due to the Zika virus, so we have a total of 20 vacation days now to use for Abigail's birth. He'll probably use 10 of them to take off 2 full weeks, then do a few weeks just working Monday/Wednesday/Friday. I do hate that we seem to be stuck in a pattern of avoiding vacations for two years for each baby though. It's not very convenient when you also get in the pattern of having a baby every two years!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07800024123436524522noreply@blogger.com
