A Department of Transportation spokesperson told ABC News that for the first four weeks after the birth of his children, Buttigieg was"mostly offline except for major agency decisions and matters that could not be delegated."
"The Secretary feels fortunate and grateful to be able to take time to focus on his responsibilities as a father, and believes all American parents deserve the same," the spokesperson said in a statement."The president's Build Back Better vision calls for paid family leave for all Americans, and the Secretary now brings new perspective to his efforts to push for the Biden-Harris Administration’s push to ensure every American has access to paid leave."U.S.
Criticisms of paternity leave, like those Buttigieg faced, show the stigma that still remains in the United States around men taking time off work to care for their children, according to Molly Day, executive director of"I think that the stigma around paternity leave is to a certain extent, unsurprising, because we've really failed to teach men and boys caregiving skills as a society," said Day.
Just 13% of employees in the U.S. work in a job where paid paternity leave is offered to all male workers, according to Day.
PeteButtigieg TheView How'd the breast feeding work out?
PeteButtigieg TheView You are not going to change the culture of the man taking his ass to work. There is no need for you to be at home. You pretty much make normal people look like they are less than you are. Your plan of forcing your views on us isn't working
TheView It’s not about his paternity leave in itself. It’s about the issues with shipping, which he should be working on day and night to fix. The guy should be doing his job.
TheView
PeteButtigieg TheView Pete you may appreciate this ♥️
TheView Why didn't the Deputy Secretary take charge and do something?
PeteButtigieg TheView Is called family leave, not cheating on your many wife's while they have their baby's, or spending times at golf.
NeldaMartinez_ TheView Thank you Secretary Pete! Those kiddos are lucky to have you and Chasten! I read all the negative comments on here and it just makes my heart sad. Thanks for staying on top of the ports while you were on parental leave. And thank you for building a competent staff! 💙💛

TheView Well, he was on 'paid leave' for two months. How the heck much longer is he supposed to stay home heating up Enfamil while his Department goes to rack and ruin?
TheView Spend, spend, spend …. Tax, tax. Tax !!!!Your ideas are sickening! The very idea makes !me sick
TheView Love to you and your family. I never had paid leave. So being the rebel I am I just dropped my baby in a self-made packpack, took her with me. The second one I was self-employed and I did the same thing. This country is so backwards. I love having people like you in office.
PeteButtigieg TheView One thing he said is we need to put this pandemic behind us. He's right we need to do what Signapore and Norway did. They are just living with Covid it's a virus it won't go away.
PeteButtigieg TheView Biden administration “knocking down tons of trees“ to build wind and solar farms, TALK ABOUT destroying the environment !
PeteButtigieg TheView His vagina must have been really sore!
TheView
PeteButtigieg TheView Well said. Attitudes need to change. I remember my single parent brother feeling demoralized & unsupported raising his son bc sexist laws & cultural assumptions. Proud he hasn’t let slacking into “man around the house” diminish the Stepdad role he’s taken on for gf’s daughter.
PeteButtigieg TheView He is smarter than all the democrats
PeteButtigieg TheView Just here to say this way of doing a split screen is too much Brady Bunch. Side-by-side is more your friend.
TheView A very thoughtful man always.

PeteButtigieg TheView Who is she?
PeteButtigieg TheView truth
STabbytosavit TheView It's sheer sexism to denigrate a father for taking parental leave.
TheView Yep! Instead of ‘pushing’ for more DAYCARES what about to push for legislature that allows moms & dads ways to raise their children w/o having to put away their careers/jobs? Family Values.vs.Lack of them? == Social Progress.vs. Social Issues
Politics TheView 'Birthing people' don't even get 2 months leave wtf
TheView How out of touch can you get? Wow.
TheView Biden has backstabbed America’s seniors by eliminating Medicare Dental from the BBB. This is unacceptable!
Politics TheView Can't do the job you're unqualified for? Take months of paternity leave!
TheView Why is it that Washington pols get 2 months paternity leave, all these extra benefits, yet they cannot make that happen for everyone? Oh great, a 'conversation' gets started while YOU already get the benefit.
TheView The media spent 4 years telling us how dump Trump is and then they dropped this on us?
TheView He was breast feeding
TheView PeteButtigieg taking 2 months for paternity leave in the middle of a national transportation crisis is sickeningly pathetic. Americans can’t get goods to take care of their babies, but Mayor Pete can take a two month hiatus to breastfeed or whatever.
TheView it is not that you took the leave it was how long and you didn't announce you were taking leave and we are having a supply shortage all of that made people question why ?
TheView Give me a break. Huge crisis under his watch. Stop whining and fix it
TheView So what if POTUS wanted to take 2 months off for maternity or paternity? We just go without a leader for 2 months?
TheView
TheView We just got to not be on vacation and fix the supply chain.
TheView After returning to “work” he continues to evade his job to keep whining about what meanies are saying. Please resign, you’re unqualified for the position anyways
TheView He’s right. We need to keep having the conversation no matter how much it upsets little TuckerCarlson and FoxNews

It sure does. Store shelves are getting empty. Schools can’t get food for poor kids breakfasts or lunches, billions is food and other needed goods are sitting in LA bay for lack of transports. When you take a position like his you put the nation before yourself-even a baby.
Looks like they are going through post pardum depression. How painful it must be for both mothers…I mean fathers.
I'll read it - - afterr I get through puking -
Biden’s World. Great pick for Transportation Secretary. Guessing this is his consolation prize for dropping out of the Presidential Race. Now with the Transportation Crisis along with the Border Crisis and Pandemic, seems no one is running the ship. Great job DNC.
Get back to work Pete.
Just f****** sad.
He's got nothing to defend or respond to. Like every American, he's entitled to FMLA. And if the terms of his employment make it paid FMLA, good for him and his family. But the 'family values' party is losing their 💩 over it.
I don't agree with the gays. But as father, if want to take off to help take care of my child, it's none of your damn business.
Important work would be putting this behind him and doing his job he was selected for .
Gimme an effing break. Geeeeesus really?! And the govt is paying for his leave. No WONDER why SOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO MANY Republican conservatives exist. This bullshit makes it impossible to be respected as a Democrat.
Meanwhile, China testing nukes and fixing to invade our ally, Taiwan, while arming/funding Taliban, and unleashing bio terrorism.
