observer Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 An opportunity for the new Dad to bond with the new sprog OR yet another imposition for employers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Both But why shouldn't dads get time off instead of mums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 ..... because it is the womans job to look after the kids in early life surely....... I thought all of this nanny state nonsense was being left at the last election...... It is bad enough not being able to employ women because they take time off with pay to go and have kids but now employers are being asked to fund the whole bloody family!! What next, are employers to be made to pay for Sky TV in order to provide early education for the sprogs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Perhaps, if Nanny provided some hormone therapy, Dad could wet nurse the sprog while Mum puts a full day in?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 You pair of old fashioned grumps Maybe a solution would be for scientists to develop a way so that man can have babies too... that way the 'parents' can chose who has to stayy off work and who doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted January 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Precisely my point - and with the help of modern science, men will soon become redundant anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'm hoping you mean redundant in the 'extinct' way rather than just 'without paid work' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Just remember Dizzy..... with the invention of kleenex and the advent of the Adult Channel; a womans days are numbered too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverlady54 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I don't think the idea has any future. What man is going to take time out if his job prospects are going to be affected and what man, after his usual 2 weeks off isn't really glad to be going back to work?

observer Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Methinks Elton will employ a Nanny to do all the dirty work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
