Expecting our first kid in February 
and the UK has some awesome new laws in place. In the past the man had 2 weeks paternity leave and that was it but now i can share a years worth of leave with my fiancee. So we are both taking 6 months off (+3 weeks saved leave) so about 7 months in total each. Not only that but you also still acrue holiday and any missed bank holidays so i’ll come back to a full years leave (30 days for me) + 4 missed holidays + 3 days extra leave we get at christmas + any bank holidays up to march 2018. Going to take every friday off when i return plus a week or two here and there.
So looking forward to getting to spend time with my fiancee and new baby
Don’t think my employer is going to love it quite so much!
