The 'Katy Tur Reports' host, who welcomed her second child in May, returned to work on Monday.
“It feels like one of those issues that has all the agreement it needs, but still can’t make it through Congress,” the “Katy Tur Reports” host said. “That is the definition of a broken system. Everybody wants something and it’s still not happening — what’s going on?”
Tur noted that globally, the average paid paternity leave is 16 weeks. In the U.S., seven out of 10 men go back after 10 days or less. Tur’s partner, who is a co-anchor on “CBS This Morning,” had six weeks of leave, but she said it’s still not enough. Dads need more time to bond with their babies, Tur said.
“Because I have been home every single day, I have by default become kind of ‘lead parent,’” she explained. “And not because of any of [Tony’s] choices. He is very, very hands-on, but in terms of when does Eloise need to eat, what is she eating, what does her cry mean, and why is Teddy screaming — all those things fall to me because I’m spending the most time with the two of them.”
