I think it’s time Lebanese men start asking for a paternity leave. 60 days for women and nothing for us? Wayniyye el Dawoule?

And still not even 2/3rds of the international standard for maternity leave (14 weeks). Well, I guess progress is progress no matter how small.
I’m so happy, progress somewhere ! :-)
They should consider adopting the Canadian System
Amen!
We man should go down on the street and burn some tires :p
they’re doing us a favor, otherwise we’d have to get up in the middle of the night to change the diapers.. as it is now, you have your “i have work early morning” excuse not to be up at 2:30AM cleaning crap
