Parental Leave Podcast - 12 Weeks Together
Summary: In the U.S., 70% of new fathers take off just 10 days or fewer to spend with their new baby. So what's it like when two new working parents in Brooklyn can take a 12-week parental leave together? We both love our careers and hope to share parenting as equally as we can, starting off with shared parental leave. Maybe we're delusional. Let's find out. We are Adrienne and Christian, and are expecting our first baby, Rasmus, in November 2017. Once our parental leave kicks off, we'll post a new episode each week, and we invite you along for the ride.
