Back to fucking work today after getting to spend nearly two weeks off over the festive period and spending all that time with our little 9 month old girl.
Was the happiest I think I've ever been!A guy I know in Sweden who had a kid a couple of months before us, his wife has just finished her maternity leave and he's about to start his 8 month paternity leave. Dads have got a great gig over there.
Mighty fucking jealous!
I'd kill for that precious time with our wee girl to see her develop into a walking talking toddler.- Try to spend all the time you can with her, without losing your job, obviously ;)OBBTKN
- I'd happily be a stay-at-home dad. The joy of children is much better than the grief of clients! ;)microkorg
