Funkstain wrote:that is different. parental leave or shared parental leave (there are some variations) pay is at discretion of employer, often depending how long you've been with them - the minimum being the £151odd you get, sure, but most orgs will pay substantially more than that for at least part of the leave (usual is full pay for 6 weeks, then 80% for next 6 weeks, then it's SMP/SPL/SShP depending on choices)Nah, £151 or so a week is SPP, same as SMP. If we have a third, my wife will take 6 months maternity leave and then I will take maybe 4 months as shared parental leave. Give the kid the most that we can. Something like that.

I remember playing Divinity Original Sin at night while he was asleep, so untired was I. He even gave up the night feed completely within a few months and started sleeping right though.
