And I was getting all dewy-eyed thinking about how cute they were and how much they have in store for them and how gooey they will make their parents (and their nappies)...it was a great feeling actually, thanks so much!!

Being a dad <I>is</I> an important role and Karen and I agree that the amount of time given off to dad's is undeniable meagre - plus I'm going to be over £200 down in my wages this month as a consequence! Not a good time to be short of money but in all honesty the last two weeks have been worth £2000 let alone £200!<BR/><BR/>Ally, to my everlasting shame (yes, it's confession time) I have never actually seen the Holy Grail. About the only thing I have seen is Life Of Brian and a few re-runs of Monty Python... I get the feeling I'm missing out!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-22255088280260974282007-10-24T15:23:00.000+02:002007-10-24T15:23:00.000+02:00Well, perhaps Butty could have attempted something...Well, perhaps Butty could have attempted something!

I can appreciate your despondency about going back to work. Personally I think it's kind of unfair and unbalanced, the amount of time fellas get for paternity leave, in comparison to the ladies! Okay, so the man didn't give birth but the role of the Dad is still an important one...Old Cheeserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17871751335676050949noreply@blogger.com
