Nearly 26 years ago when my son was born, I had no paternity leave, I had to book a week of my holidays off if I wanted any time at home with my new born, 6 months seems a bit over the top to me.

Not exactly no warning or last minute allowing for gestation period and six months notice got significantly more than a years notice that father may take some maternaty leave soooo, must be money, money, money then ?

Of course it's not ok for women to have time off so why should it be any different for men except perhaps more likely to come back maybe ?

Or maybe if escaped for a period of homework & a bit of freedom wiv the kids would as many come back or would they like it and leave it up to the women to bring home the bacon as it were ?

Or would they just say stuff this for a game of coconuts far too much like hard work i'm off back to work a.s.a.p. ?

Or lets just have the baby farms and be presented wiv your little sort of past the rug-rat stage and a sort of grown-up carpet monster when it's been socialised, passed it's 11 plus and qualified to look after it's adults money ?
