Well after hearing all he was going through I just did not want to whine about my issues so I kept it light.Maybe he could have saved that to the end of session?

I think Anne makes a good point about why he may have chosen to start with that. My T always brings up scheduling stuff right at the beginning, too, I think just to get it out of the way and so he doesn't forget, but for a longer break (a week or more) there is usually some talk about how I feel about it, etc.
But it definitely sounds like he went into too much detail about this. He could have just said "I'm taking family leave for X weeks" without getting into all the first-child stuff. It sucks that you felt like you'd be whining. I'm sure that isn't the case, and anyway just because he's facing something difficult doesn't mean your problems aren't legitimate, too. Maybe you could bring it up next week?
