Wife is really wanting me to go off grid for 1st month. I do get a chance to work from home and I do like my job so I thought it might be ok to just periodically log on.
Happy wife happy life so I don't want to piss her off.

I took the 1st month off and I would recommend at least 4 weeks for anyone. None of the dads I know took less than 3 weeks off. I mean, it's basically a war zone in the first month. No sleep, no idea what you're doing, grandparents getting in the way, doctor's appointments, nurse visits, wife exhausted etc. Work could go fuck themselves for all I cared.
I'm finding that a decent number of dads I know will take the first 4-6 weeks off then go back to work for 6-10 months and then take another 2-4 months off. Some will take the time off when the wife goes back to work. All of them have loved that opportunity and if you can afford it I would highly recommend it.
