If hubby is to take paternity leave, can extend till children reach P6 ??
Fathers should help out with children's homework and coach them in their studies esp near exams. They have a share of the children right ?
Since cheaper maid levy extends until the child reaches 12, this should be applied to fathers too.

Just that from what I can see most men don't utilise those leave. The govt and grant all the leave that people are asking for but for that to be effective, there must be a paradigm shift.

Men need to step up and women need to let go. A lot of times women complain that the men don't help but when the men do help, the women cannot let go and say better that they do it themselves cos things are not done the way they want it to be done. And men stop conveniently keep using this as an excuse to leave child minding and household chores to the women.

Disclaimer : the men I am referring to do not include most of the daddies in this forum. Like I said before, Daddies here are atypical.
