Took 6 weeks paternity leave and now I'm the real parent

I know that sounds weird but I mean I actually know how to take care of my kids now instead of just being the fun weekend parent. I changed diapers, did naps, handled meltdowns, figured out feeding schedules. It was hard but I finally get what my wife does every day. When I went back to work I actually cared about getting home. I'm more present with them. I'm pushing for my company to extend paternity leave because those 6 weeks changed everything about how I parent. If I only get 2-3 days it would've been meaningless but the full month let me actually bond and learn.
