Supervisor Made Negative Comment About My Paternity Leave

My gf and I are having our first baby and we are more than excited! With the company’s built in Paternity Leave in their handbook (grateful there’s even any) and saved up PTO I would have 4 weeks. Yet, I am also going to utilize the CA Paid Family leave state program for 4 more weeks (I know I could utilize this program for more time yet I can’t go that long with only 60%-70% of my pay). Anyways, after I told my supervisor I’d be out for a total of 8 weeks she commented that that’s “kind of a long Paternity Leave”. I don’t believe this “kind of long” at all! Am I the crazy one here? Appreciate your thoughts!
