Extend paternity leave from 2 weeks to at least 4

Petition Details

2 weeks is not enough time to help with the mother and bond with the baby. 4 weeks should easily be the minimum to give dad's a better chance to bond and give the mother more support.

Additional Information

Men suffer from postnatal depression too. I did, and I went sick for 4 weeks. Having these extra weeks helped me bond with the baby instead of never seeing her due to work. Here's my story:

This is something that benefits both the mother and the father, and is incredibly important for bonding in the early stages of a babies life.
