NEW - What’s On Your Mind: Elias Makos Brand New Baby!

Paternity leave sounds simple until you're eight days in, running on no sleep, and watching your toddler realize he's not an only child anymore. Elias Makos is living it right now, and he's got the exact line for what his son is going through, after two and a half years of having his mom entirely to himself. The Quebec government takes from him constantly, or so he says. For once it's paying him back: two months of leave now, more next year. Whether that counts as a fair trade is something he's still deciding. Somewhere between newborn chaos and a jealous toddler, Elias circles back to something harder to explain: the specific feeling that hits once your kids are actually in the room with you. He doesn't have the words for it yet. See if you do.
