Mr cleo didn't take any time off when our two were born apart from the time it took him to get me to the hospital and see them born. I don't recall him changing any nappies, either. But that was back in them days.
My sil is currently part way through a month's paternity leave, helping my daughter look after No4 (including changing nappies) and seeing the other three get off to school etc. Times have certainly changed.

And why aren't women more willing to marry, have 2 or more children and work longer hours, without proper daycare facilities, said the older government official who holds these same attitudes. It's a mystery Taro!

Maybe there’s also the matter than Japanese companies frown upon men taking such leave. It might be policy but some bosses discourage it. Hell, I know some that don’t even take their entitled paid annual leave.

Sounds like you won't take any...
