New dad Mark Zuckerberg posted about his return to work this week — here's how Facebook responded by Rachel Gillett on Jan 27, 2016, 1:33 PM Advertisement
 Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg headed back to work on Monday after taking two months of paternity leave, and he turned to Facebook to solicit some advice. While the new dad was making a joke about his monochromatic uniform, he also started a discussion among his 48.5 million friends and followers about parental leave and what it's like to return to work after the birth of a child. Here's what some people had to say (comments have been edited for clarity): SEE ALSO: Mark Zuckerberg is taking 2 months off to be with his newborn — here's why Facebook employees say his decision is so important "Thank you for taking paternity leave. It models the importance of the work of parenting for your daughter, and for your employees, and men in other fields and parts of the country who might not take advantage of it. And please help push for paid family leave as a guarantee for US works, and paid sick leave for workers who don't already have it!" —Renee Cramer
"I remember my first day back at work after maternity leave. I was tearful and missing my baby all day!" —Aana Sheheryar Husain
"Skip the tees — let's see your suits so you have something appropriate to wear for when you speak before congress to lobby for all workers to get paid paternity and maternity leave like you had. I'm so glad you got to take off time, but your ability to do so in this country is almost unprecedented. Pay it forward, even beyond your charitable work that was inspired by your daughter's birth. Let her birth also inspire you to work hard so every family can have this small but critical luxury that you had that other countries regard as rights and not luxuries at all." —Mia Lytton Levy
