Comment on Campaigners tie baby slings to statues in call for better UK paternity leave
ProfessorOwl_PhD@hexbear.net 1 month agoWould you honestly take on at least 18 years of responsibility for another human being in exchange for a couple of weeks off work? Do you seriously consider that an incentive?

I just want to be absolutely clear here, to make sure that you fully understand the question, because your answer suggests you don’t: It’s not couple of weeks a year, it’s just a couple of weeks, right at the start, and it’s not a holiday, you have to look after the baby at its most helpless during those extra weeks of leave. Are you sure that you consider a few extra weeks of looking after a child to be worth 18 years of looking after the child? Like I’m not doing a silly hypothetical where I ask if you consider yourself more or less likely to consider having a child in future, I am asking you, personally, if you will be having a child and raising it should men recieve more paternal leave.
