Maternity leave being changed here so that I have to take 90 days instead of
60. Now I don't mind the idea of generous maternity leave, but being made to take 90 is a bit much. I'm guessing it's best I take these after my lady has taken the first 300 days? :hehe:
-
I think you mean paternity leave........of which I'll get 2 weeks in January
-
I saw a really great photography series on Swedish dads recently, this'll be you bgm!
-
Every single one of those men looks utterly emasculated.
-
Gay nannies
-
I thought the one vacuuming looked ok, but only because he looked like one of the ghostbusters.
-
Look at this poor c**t
I like how many of them have grown facial hair in a desperate attempt to pretend they're still men.

Congrats by the way
-
I'm sorry, but washing a child's arse in the kitchen sink is simply unsanitary.
-
You need a separate arse sink, like kosher jews
-
Thank you
-
Having to go to the laundry room and do laundry with a kid strapped to your chest
I'm going to have to navigate my way through all this *******s :cry:
-
Do they wash arses? Is there not a dietary law about that?
-
Look, you do what you can in the early stages so that you both get through it, but after that, the
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.

This post was brought to you by redgunamo and our sponsors Pedigree Chum
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.
-
OK, I retract that, I dont want to be accused of some sort of arse libel
They do wash their horns and cloven hooves in it though
-
...and that you will be able to leave it when the stifling boredom of living there gets too much
-
He's right though. All the nibs agreed that, in order to keep redgunamo off
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.

This guy is my favourite - an absolute shambles I'm sure I'll empathise with in the future.

Well we've already spoke about this. I want her to have all my days that i can give so
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)
-
Better a massively destabilising war in the Middle East than nappy-changing any day of the
week imo. f**k the rise of ISIS, if I have to watch Teletubbies for one more minute, I'm going to start beheading people.
-
Good way to dispel the suspicion Sweden might be too dull for you, mate
I fell asleep a couple of sentences in
-
Seriously, it's the biggest load of c**t. That's not even the end of it btw, you can also take out
days together but they count as double, so if you take 20 days together it takes off 40 from each of your individual allowances. Bunch of c**ts.
Lots of other ****e too. I'm already sick of it tbh.
-
Could be worse, you could have a fortnight like PSRB
-
Look mate, you've seen those pictures, haven't you? No amount of time off or money saved on daycare
is worth ending up looking like one of those poor, tragic, dickless f**kers. Before you know what's happened you'll have bitch tits, a straggly beard and be wearing an ensemble of t-shirt covered in milky sick stains, trousers with an elasticated waist and lots of pockets full of baby wipes, etc, socks and sandals.
You will basically be f**ked as a man, in other words. Is that what you want?
-
Or the juxtaposition of long and round balloons to remind him of what he used to have
-
Then feeding their innards to the hounds. And posting the videos on Youtube.
-
And that's two weeks more than anyone needs imo.
f**kssake, I just took holiday. It's not like you're going to be taking an actual holiday in the first year of having a kid anyway, so you might as well.
-
I actually thought the fact the balloons had nipples was quite telling.
-
He actually looks like a man thinking that developing a scag habit might be a convenient way out of
-
I'dve loved more time with the kid, personally. Then again I'm one of those crazy loving parents
I guess I'm just browbeaten into doing more than my fair share of childcare, which is obviously a massive purgatory like nightmare. Much better to be sat in an office having the time of my life.
-
Doesn't do to give children the idea they're deserving of too much attention. This is why there's so
many shellshocked solipsistic narcissists about these days imo. They've all been brought up to think they're precious little snowflakes to whom only good things should be allowed to happen. They're all soft at the core. None of the self-reliant steel that parental distance puts in the soul, see?
-
Much better to pack them off to public school and a life of buggery
That's the problem with the country today, not enough emotional illiterates with abandonment issues.
-
Yes. I blame the Americans. Emotionally incontinent people who have grown up with the absurd notion
that they have some right to expect happiness. And, when they finally realise that this is nonsense, they end up going to shrinks and whining about it.
There's a lot to be said for just shutting up, gritting your teeth, having a stiff drink and getting on with things. The realisation that blaming your parents for things doesn't help and that nobody cares or wants to hear about your tedious problems is a significant moment of growing up.

I bolted 2 weeks holiday on top and had the 4 hottest weeks of the year off, lovely
