If I could afford it, absolutely. In reality, my mortgage and other financial commitments would likely have necessitated me going back to work.
What we likely would have done instead is staggered my wife's medical leave with a shorter chunk of my own PTO rather than both of us being home at the same time, and put the baby into childcare earlier than we're currently planning on doing.
If you dont have the money to take 6 times off, who is giving you the money to do so?
The basic economic question of giving someone money is that you are taking it from someone else. Is it childless employees? Is it taxes? Is it the unemployed?
