I took 3 months of paternity leave, which is on the better side here :(. I think I got 2 months with the rest being banked pto. With the first kid it was longer in a way, because she was born during Covid. It was a scary and stressful time, but I got pretty lucky with how it turned out, my work converted to remote, but the work also slowed down a lot do to the chaos and adjusting to the new reality. With the second kid though, I took 3 months again but 2 weeks were unpaid because I had to save some pto for inevitably when the kids got sick or had to stay home, and workflows had adjusted by then so work was not nearly as slow. Working remote was still great for it though
