to want to slap my husband's boss who has told him that "paternity leave is very 1990s' - we don't do that anymore"

[fruitstick]

Apparently that's when they were all pretending to be women. Things are different now.

Pass me the wet fish someone!

here have a loaded gun.

LMAO - I hope your husband is still taking his paternity leave!!

you're sure it was your dh's boss that said this, not your dh?

what a fucking twat!

DH is well aware where his loyalties lie!

Hoh hoh hoh hohhhhhhhh
He'll do more than pretend to be a woman if you march in to his office with a pair of shears............

what a wanker

Oh please let them stop him taking it - then get yourself to a tribunal!

We struggle to get our guys to take theirs.

Come the revolution bosses like this will be first up against the wall.

I'm sure the only appropriate response is "oh yes, the 00s are much more about no win no fee litigation for constructive dismissal cases"

Of course he was being ironic...

I'm not entirely sure he was. I've never met him but he seems to be one of those men who is constantly surprised that other men seem to like their own children

what a twat. Sorry your dh is working for him!

These blokes don't do themselves any favours do they? Knobend.
