Congratulations! So we can look forward to an inundation of completely inane threads...

Something's changed?

Don't think I could trade my shirt for an apron personally, but fair play to you mag!

Kudos on the normal thread.

Stay at home dads are not the same as stay at home mums - I know - I'm a stay at home dad after retiring last July.

Mums do art work, play dough, baking, tea parties etc. I do mountain biking, snow days at the chill factore, camping, fishing etc

All the best Mag, enjoy it

Do you think anyone would notice ?

Didn't the law change in April so that both parents can split the paternity/maternity time between them or is it next April?

Mags doesn't live in the UK

But yes, the law has / is changing in the UK to allow Mums and Dads to split the time

 

[Pestilence]

Exciting, isn't it?

Not really, no.

or more

Never mind.

I will probably have to do this. Children can't go to nursery when they are first born and matenity leave only lasts 1 year for a woman in the UK so if my work let me have some time off until it's time for nursery I will do the same.

Should be a plesent change.

Children can go to nursery from only a few months old, not all nurserys will take them though

Haha, yeah I read something which said they couldn't. Maybe that's just when it's subsidised by the Gov.

Edited my post before I saw yours.

I will probably be sending them to Nursery ASAP in that case.

 

[Castiel]

An amazing thing to be able to do.

And it costs how much?
