I believe the government also encourages co parenting. So they let the other parent(mainly the father) take an additional 4-5 weeks paid parental leave that
the mother cant take. edit* EvoFire already mentioned this.

I highly encourage it, its an awesome experience and eye opener. But it seems like its harder for dads to take that type of time off from their jobs. Also if your living pay cheque to paycheque, ur bringing in alot less money if ur the bread winner aswell.
