Like many fathers in the U.S., when Jon Morgan's first child was born, he didn’t get paid family leave. Balancing the demands of work and caring for a new baby were “incredibly challenging,” he said.
“I found myself rushing between meetings and late nights trying to catch up on emails, all while missing those precious early moments with my newborn,” Morgan, a father of two located in San Francisco, California, told Salon. “I missed those first smiles, the bonding time, and even the sleepless nights that, in hindsight, I wish I could have shared more fully with my partner.”
