Mark Zuckerberg reveals why he’s taking two months paternity leave

Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, has revealed why he’s taking up a two months paternity leave. According to billionaire dad, he’s expecting a baby with his wife, and just like he did for his daughter Max, he will always be grateful that he could spend so much time with her in the first months of her life.

Here’s what he wrote;

“When Max was born, I took two months of paternity leave. I will always be grateful I could spend so much time with her in the first months of her life.

Our new daughter is coming soon, and I’m planning to take two months of paternity leave again. This time, I’m going to take advantage of Facebook’s option to take leave in parts. I’ll take a month off to be with Priscilla and the girls at the beginning, and then we’ll spend the whole month of December together as well. I’m looking forward to bonding with our new little one and taking Max on adventures.

At Facebook, we offer four months of maternity and paternity leave because studies show that when working parents take time to be with their newborns, it’s good for the entire family. And I’m pretty sure the office will still be standing when I get back.”
