The bliss of an 18-month, paid, Swedish paternity leave. – By Nathan Hegedus – Slate Magazine.
This is an interesting look at Swedish paternity leave. It’s hard to think that if we lived in Sweden my wife would still be on paid maternity leave for another three months with our now 15 month old boy. And I would be anticipating an 18 month run of paid paternity leave after that. I think that’s pretty awesome. That totally beats the couple of weeks I was able to take off for our second child. I could have taken more, of course, but with out a pay check.
