how long is you SO staying home from work?

my ex (its very complicated) is only planning on staying for 3 days when baby is born. i feel like thats no time at all! i live 2 hours away from him and he doesnt want to take excess time off of work aince leave is unpaid. but i feel like this is unfair because i'll be home alone with baby and no sleep. my mom is willing to help out but she works full time and i dont expect her to take time off of work. i feel like he should be here at least a full week but maybe im just dramatic. EDIT: i understand most men dont take leaves from work and im not expecting him to. my issue is the distance between us. he cant stop by and help out after work or even on his days off because theres a 2 hour commute. i feel like he should at least give up a week since he wont be able to help out on a daily basis.
