The purpose of this investigation was to analyze online discussions about parental leave in relation to the work lives and private lives of new fathers. A netnographic study of nearly 100 discussion threads from a freely accessible online forum for fathers was conducted. Data were coded, sorted, and categorized by qualitative similarities and differences. The results of the study indicate that new fathers seek Internet forums to discuss work-related topics. Parental leave can provoke worries and anxiety related to management and co-worker attitudes which can create concern that they should be back at work. The results are presented in two categories: (a) attitudes expressed by employers and colleagues and (b) leaving work but longing to be back. The phenomenon of parental leave for fathers is more complex than simply "for" or "against" attitudes. Fathers can use Internet forums to discuss their experiences, fears, and anxiety and provide reasonable accommodations for both work and family life.
本调查的目的是分析关于陪产假与新爸爸工作生活和私人生活相关的在线讨论。对一个面向爸爸的免费在线论坛上近100个讨论线程进行了网络民族志研究。数据根据定性的异同进行编码、排序和分类。研究结果表明，新爸爸们会寻求互联网论坛来讨论与工作相关的话题。陪产假可能引发与管理层和同事态度相关的担忧和焦虑，这可能导致他们担心自己应该回去工作。研究结果分为两类呈现：（a）雇主和同事表达的态度；（b）离开工作但渴望回去。爸爸休陪产假的现象比简单的“支持”或“反对”态度更为复杂。爸爸们可以利用互联网论坛来讨论他们的经历、恐惧和焦虑，并为工作和家庭生活提供合理的调适。
