Paternity leave was 2 weeks and I'm already back to reality

Took paternity leave for our third baby born last month. Two weeks. TWO. Got back to work Monday and immediately had three meetings, emails piled up, and my boss asking why I wasn't in the office the week before (I wasn't, I was home with a newborn and a traumatized wife).

I genuinely don't understand why we can't do better than this in the US. Watching my buddy in Germany got 3 MONTHS and people act like that's normal. Anyway, gonna be a long slog back to normal life.
