Give Men More Time Off For Paternity Leave

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Since having my newborn I’ve realised how hard it is juggling life with 2 children. My eldest son is autistic and my newborn needs a lot of time too. My husband has had 2 weeks off with us and is now back to work he’s gone back exhausted tired and not sure what day it is. They should get more time

men don’t get the time to bond enjoy their other children and have time with their significant others. They go back exhausted 💤 they should be entitled to more time to get into a new routine and have quality time with their families not just exsisting and making it though a sleepless night and then having to work all day too! It’s not fair give men more quality time with families men can get post natal depression too
