Babysitting should be 50/50, we are not in the 18th century ....
In my opinion, each "or we are obliged" position is related to a job and a corresponding salary. Why on earth Bulgarians have adopted that "parental leave" is called MOTHERHOOD and is performed only by the woman in the family. As much as a woman, a man can go into "motherhood" in two years. Fathers can handle parenting no worse than mothers.
Of course, I am aware of the answer to the question, and it is that fathers most often earn more money, so the one who earns less money from work takes the position of raising a child up to 2 years.
As for the author's question, your husband can handle the baby no worse than you, the job is who in your family has taken on the obligation to receive childcare pay and who has taken on the obligation to earn an income. Somehow it doesn't seem quite fair to me while you're in maternity leave and the state pays you for the labor of watching your child go on a long trip, and the father, for example, to use his due or unpaid leave to perform the duty paid for you.
However, if the father in your family is in "maternity" and you work, it is perfectly acceptable during your paid leave to visit any destination you want.
Of course, my overall opinion does not exclude the care of the child of the working parent, but they are limited to about 2-3 hours a day. The one who is in motherhood takes the other 7-8 hours when the child is awake. It is logical that while one of the parents is a mother and the other works outside the home, there is no way to divide the obligations to the child 50/50.
Just as fathers with women who have died in childbirth can look after their babies, so can everyone else.
Ask him. He may even live with his mother and find it easier. I have often been with my father since I was a child. No problem.
I am very interested in what is this destination that you want to visit without your husband? Otherwise, if you are not breastfeeding, there is no problem to leave it to the father. Men are not stupid.
Better Climb a few more years. Not all men STOP looking after children.
My husband does not want to go to such places, but he probably will not want to look after the child alone, it is a matter of a week. The place is 3 hours away by plane, it doesn't matter though.
From day one, it's normal to leave it to his father, unless we're talking about an extremely irresponsible person or a drunk.
The idea of helping from time to time is very crazy, because not so strong bonds are built between the father and the child. If you want to travel, you can always find another family that wants to look after him and have a plateau for a while.
"I'm very curious what is this destination you want to visit without your husband?"
Yes, it says in Glacier Work in India.
No problem, as long as you're calm.
