Tucker Carlson was picked last for every game of kickball and now we all have to pay the price for it.

I highly doubt he was even picked.\nI think the team just played with one less player

Two of my male colleagues\u2019 wives gave birth during the pandemic and both of them were entitled to and took 6 weeks paternity leave. It is not about learning to breast feed. It is to bond with your new baby and to adjust to your new family situation. Party of \u201cFamily Values\u201d

What I would have given to have had my husband home for more than a week w my 2 kids. I\u2019m glad more companies offer it now. I went out of my mind!

Mock taking any time off from work\nAttack any mandatory time off programs\n\nMock the sick\nAttack any health care programs\n\nDemand maximum defense budgets.\nAttack spending pennies of that on our own people.\n\nDo you people on the right seriously think these people are on YOUR side?

In 1978 I took 10 days off with the birth of my son. The firm had never heard of it before. I wasn\u2019t fired. We all survived. 1978 and we still have to put up with this crapola? No regrets.

My hubs took off a single week for our son's birth, starting the day I went into labor, Dec 29. On December 30, not 10 hours after I gave birth, he was called in to fix, get this, a leaky pipe. Not 1 person in a 100 mile radius was asked to cover & he was threatened with firing

Tucker Carlson would attack a person for wearing the wrong shade of blue. He's there for the attention

The Federal Employee Paid Leave Act, President Trump signed into law in 2019, gives fed workers access to up to 12 wks of paid time off for the birth or adoption of a new child. \n\nIf KKKarlson doesn't like the law he should contact his representative. Just like all of us.

Fox offers two months paid paternity leave to its employees

.@TuckerCarlson I took two weeks paternity leave after the birth of each of my kids. Not all of us were raised among the uber-wealthy who ship their kids off to boarding school. Some of us take time off to care for our kids.

Tucker Carlson's @FoxNews colleague, @ToddPiro, in April, after he took six weeks of leave to help care for his infant daughter:\n\n"I cannot thank Fox enough for providing all fathers who work here with such a generous paternity leave." \n\nhttps://fxn.ws/3aGJfEK\u00a0https://twitter.com/NikkiMcR/status/1448803712344985600\u00a0\u2026
