The vast majority of working parents are male of course (whereas only half of mothers do paid work). It's always been the way that they spend most of their time apart from their kids.
If fathers do indeed have a "weaker" bond with their kids than their mothers do, then it probably is in part as they spend less time with them.
Well I've been on maternity leave for nearly a year but I work in the pub I own...It's my pride and joy. I quit the job in the March because I've been ill this year with stress and everything so I decided to give myself a bit of a break. I do plan on going back though sizz.
