Saga To Offer Employees Paid Leave On The Birth Of A Grandchild

Just had a quick look at the link.

Seems that some firms are now offering ‘pawternity’- paid leave to care for a new puppy!

Give me strength!

The grandparents one was OTT, but this…..

Waiting for the onslaught from all the GN dog lovers.

When my GSs wife had a caesarean she and baby were looked after very well by him, ok if there are other children more help would be good but I do think it’s OTT to be honest.

Gwyneth my daughter had a caesarean section with both her babies. She wasn't allowed to drive for six weeks and couldn't do much round the house. I went more to look after her as she recovered from the surgery, rather than the baby.

To be honest I think it’s ridiculous. If the partner already has paid leave how many more people do you need to look after one baby. Where does it stop? Allowing the next door neighbour paid leave to help with the baby? Very likely to be abused I suspect. Single parent with no other support might be an exception.
