Men in the UK now have the right to two weeks of paid paternity leave, can request

Question:

Men in the UK now have the right to two weeks of paid paternity leave, can request flexible hours, and are eligible for up to 13 weeks of parental leave for children under six or disabled children under the age of 18. Less than 10 per cent exceed the statutory two weeks; in Sweden men take an average of three months (Kelly, 2016). Men are more actively involved in childcare than they were 20 years ago (Sweet, 2003)—but men want to use paid work as an excuse not to do work (at home), which they perceive as low-status and unpaid (Cary Cooper, quoted in Sweet, 2003). Is this true in your experience?
