man should sort of scale back his contributions by going back to work, etc. Under no circumstances should you get sucked into sharing childcare duties equally. That way madness lies. Women are better at this sort of thing. They're built for it.
It's nonsense, of course, do what works out best for you guys safe in the knowledge that you have a progressive, caring, socially democratic society in which to bring your kid up.
They do wash their horns and cloven hooves in it though
childcare duties, the best way would be to sack the Middle East again. Of course, they couldn't admit it at the time so they just put it out that it was all about oil, or terrorism or some such other guff.
she would get her own 240 and 180 of the 240 i'm given (previously HAD to take 60 of the 240). But now i'll have to take 30 extra days and can only give her 150 of my 240 days*, which has annoyed me a bit.
Anyway, the crux of the matter is that before the change we could do it so that my girlfriend could be off for almost a year at 80-90% of her salary by which time the baby will be old enough to go to daycare, but now we'll come up two months short of that with this change so i'll probably have to use some of my days.
First world problems!
*both parents get 135 (now 105) days each at 80-90% salary which can be transferred to either parent, both get 60 (now 90) days at 80-90% which can't be transferred, and 45 days each where you're paid about 12 quid a day which can also be transferred (generally used for going back and working half days or taking out extra holidays)
