    My work gives parental leave based on whether they’re the primary caretaker or the secondary one. The primary gets 6 months, the secondary gets 3.

    What decider whether you’re primary or secondary? Simple. If your partner is taking more than 3 months they’re primary.

    What this means in practice is that for US-based employees pretty much everyone at my company is the primary caretaker since few people’s spouses even have the option for more than 3 months.
