.MSNBC anchors AymanM and yasminv share their parental leave experiences and talk about how Americans can move the needle on the perception of taking time off after the birth of a child.
I recently chatted with my co- anchor, Ayman Mohyeldin, who took advantage of the parental leave policy at NBC back in early 2019, taking 16 weeks after the birth of his second child. At NBCUniversal, primary caregivers are given 16 weeks paid leave with up to an additional two months unpaid.
Yasmin: You're incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to take parental leave as you well know. Especially being a father…There’s a big misconception, just generally in our culture, that somehow if you take paternity leave, you're at a disadvantage at work, that you are somehow gaming the company and people are like “Oh wow really, did you enjoy your 16 weeks off?”
Every single study that I have read in literature about the science of taking paternity leave, reinforces the overall health of the family, which means postpartum depression among women plummets when parents are both there. But then there’s the element of a self-imposed anxiety, which is, for example, ‘I’m not going to be here for the Mueller Report.’ Or ‘Oh my god. I’m not going to be here for the impeachment hearings.’ That makes leaving a little bit harder, because we work ourselves into this frenzy — like I missed the big story that could have defined my career. But there’s always another big story.
