I loved my paternity leave. After a few years I quit my fulltime job to take care of the child more too.

Unfortunately things didn't work out, and I had to go back to a full-time job, but I cherish the memories of that period. Babies are awesome, of course, but it was much more interesting and rewarding spending time as a stay-at-home parent with an older child, since we could talk and interact much more than was possible with a newborn.
