It is ‘old-fashioned’ that only mothers stay at home to look after babies?

Nick Clegg the Deputy Prime Minister has unveiled plans for new parents to share parenting leave from work. New mothers would have to take the first two weeks off work  and then Mums and Dads could then split up to 50 weeks in leave between them.

Sounds like a great idea to me but has condemned the plan as a ‘nightmare for small businesses’

What are your thoughts and how would this work for your family?
