Been working as a developer full time for the past 5 years with some 1 week vacations thrown in here and there (I can count them all on one hand).

I'm on week 4 of a 12 week loa for baby #3. I was totally focused on my career, side project(s), and keeping up w/ latest tech to stay relevant my memory felt foggy if you were to ask me household/family things that my awesome wife just took care of on the daily.

I've noticed a complete change in me remembering what my family has going on. Household stuff, etc. It's been great!
