Great read, and you’re so right about the ripple effects when dads don’t take leave. My husband is a medical resident and got 6 weeks off, which is way more than most programs offer. The limited leave is tied to hitting enough training hours to graduate, and I know other training or school programs have similar requirements to navigate here when it comes to parental leave. In the case of students it seems like you need to choose to either be a student or be a parent which can definitely be frustrating!
