“Still not over the American woman who was super surprised to see so many men walking around with strollers and generally looking after their children alone during her travels through the Nordic countries.”

A friend of a friend of mine visited Stockholm from the US. She loved it, but was really puzzled by “all the gay nannies” until she was told they were the fathers.
So what do American fathers do on mandatory parental leave, just sit at home?
Oh, wait, there is no mandatory parental leave for fathers in the US, is there?
Lol, federally we don’t have paid parental leave for mothers either. If there are 50+ employees both parents can take up to 12 weeks unpaid, and states may force paid leave to be offered.
And yeah, I’m not a parent, but I’ve noticed that over the years there’s been more and more of a move towards fathers taking part in the nurturing parenting (as opposed to mainly being involved via providing, instruction, and discipline)
12 weeks (optional)

Had to use all of my vacation and sick time banked up (unless I wanted/could afford to take a temp pay cut and go through government time off programs). That still only got me a few weeks.

You joke but my youngest learned to jump from Laura Croft.
Mid-2020 my wife was playing through the Tomb Raider remakes and left the computer to go fo something and my youngest walked up and pressed the biggest button that they could reach, the space bar, then was amazed to see the button caused something to happen on screen, so they kept doing it. Then the mimicry kicked in and they started trying to copy what they saw on screen and proceeded to jump for the very first time
No, there isn’t. We’re trying, it’s on the list of things we want after we kick Hitler Jr. out of his high chair.
Damn, that’s some eastern europe type phrasing
