How’s everyone’s partners working paternity leave?
My husband holidays are set (annoyingly) so he can only get 2 weeks off
He’s got a holiday 25th-31st and C-section is supposed to be between 27th-3rd so it could fall while he’s already off then take the 2 weeks after but we want to some how make it longer 😩 we fell really lucky with our oldest because he was born a little over 2 weeks before a 2 week holiday so my husband got almost 5 weeks off but not falling that lucky this time
Annoyingly if I was able to go to my due date it would’ve worked out that he got 2 weeks of then 8 days back at work before a almost 4 week holiday 🤦🏼♀️ but now the 4 week holidays going to be about 6 weeks after birth

So I can see your from Uttoxeter and guessing he works for jcb
Same here with me and my wife, so she’ll be off that week and say baby comes that week, they told her she can take the 2 weeks off after that week. It’s worked out the same with our older one as he was born end sep when they have that week off and she just took the two weeks after
Hopefully that makes sense xx
Yeah I don’t no how you would be able to work it! Jcb are a bit shit🤣
Unless the 3 year old gets ill and he needs to take another week off 🤣💁🏼♀️ xx
Paternity you usually don’t need to “book off” it just begins when either labour starts or baby is born… that’s how it works up here for my partner anyway and all of his dad friends.
My son was born 42 weeks so if my partner had it allocated for 40 weeks we would have been screwed. So I don’t really see how it would work booking in advance, babies can’t be booked lol x
