this is the weight that my son increased

from his birth until he finished

my paternity leave

I stayed a bit like saying

I know little but suddenly you give of

bruces not with this permission

paternity only 13 days it occurs to me

a great idea I said ‘I’m going to add 15

additional days of my vacation to

these 13 bright days neither does either

it convinces me to the thing but far from what

it may seem like it was a very

transgressor my work

people told me at coffee time

I said support when my son was born

I only took three days , nor

even a bridge with the theme of the 15

additional days also listen

phrases like is that a manager does not

can take vacations in March a

legal or powerful argument and already the

thing

the thing got complicated the thing was

complicated when with birth the

birth of my son when he was born

our second daughter

besides order the 13 days in addition to

ask for the 15 days of vacation in

March because he was born in the same month

I asked when breastfeeding and already

what do we want more my popularity went

a pique

I heard a woman at work

He said

I presumed already works many hours until

2 in the morning and she boasted

that an event had never been missed

important of your child at school

I understand that we are talking about the work

Christmas theater

the burial of the sardine and

eventually the end of course dance

truth that I did with my time of

lactation

Well, thanks to the breastfeeding time

our oldest son goes every day to

school at the hand of his dad and his

mom every day

for more inri I was the director of

human resources of the company with

which was not setting a good example with

those hints that were throwing me

truth came during a lot of

years many years in all

interviews I had with people who

We are going to hire him, he said, I do not want to

be you have a few hours you meet them and

you go because because the work is

organized that I think is the heel

of Achilles of companies that reconcile

wrong and of people who reconcile badly

the lack of organization is one of the

possible causes I do not say it’s the

unique but of course on the

possible causes and I example came in

at six in the morning to work

I left at approximately 2 meal in

house the afternoon free

the typical siesta play with the cat

be with my girl pay the gym and

no and the typical thing you can do in a

free afternoon

however those free afternoons is a

training because I think the

families are also when they do not

they have children and you had better go

training however this experience

it made me think he was a weirdo and

means to reflect and decide on

where does this come to me from going to

countercurrent

then it’s true he collaborated with daddy

reconciled seen that there are many people

stuck in this world of conciliation

the thing doing very interesting things

really that wanting to change the

background things but I in my environment

social was a weirdo when I was

this aspect as a possible explanation

because good people my age

the millennials do not but people give me

we already have an old professor who

we remember everything is true those who haunt

the 40 we have an old teacher

because I had a professor kittin or

captain my captain

you remember for being a teacher keating

what he did was wake up my

creativity

this teacher what he did was to reserve

two hours a week for him

let’s in class

what we had written at home

product of our imagination

I do not know how the system would fit now

educational in quito up philosophy

true

this kittin professor is no coincidence

never never never sent us homework

for home creativity and the fact that

I until 9 years old, the only thing I did

was going to school and playing I think they are

quite related in the times that

they run in which the duties and

After- school classes have become

in the new parents who also

extracurricular classes go in parallel

with the recycling courses of the

company to improve English or a

course of digital marketing or networks

socially lucky people parents

and the children are seen at dinner one

short version of the sleeping story

A kiss and until tomorrow

the other important milestone in my life was

the theme of making the bed myself with ten

years made my bed for the first time but

nobody asked me was an initiative

own that my mother did as soon as

I go to bed made with some wrinkles

true when I already camacho the first thing that

did it was that zealand that this is

fatal and I say to messi is that I’m

stuck in a macho matrix that I

I have to wake up and I think that there

the shots go

that was the beginning of this awakening of

This macho madrid that directed me

towards a conciliation that I do not think

you can improvise from night to

tomorrow is neither on a personal level nor

level of society what I learned

later

this is what comes very well is

expectant comes in handy for when

you live alone and I’m living for four years

only discover that the sock is not going

only from the washing machine to the drawer

that’s important but it also comes to you

good for when he later lives as a couple

I discovered that there are two pillars

fundamental for life as a couple

for coexistence

one is that the other person does not make two

things followed from the house as a way of

balance and he

the world is that there are always two ways

correct to do the homework

domestic was dedicated to my mother

I confess it

the point is that with this philosophy

of life we ​​as a couple already

we were training is not for when

will reach our children the same happens

with free time

leisure time if your free time is

it looks like what you’re going to have or rather

when your children arrive, it is a

adaptation of you towards them and of them

towards you

you can share our free time

I think it’s not a matter of overturning with

completely in children’s activities

they do not have to be all ball pools

and they do not have to be all walk by

malaaña it is convenient that we train the

conciliation and that we understand that

we have finally the coexistence

before our children arrive

because a nor a child when it is born what

unsettles absolutely everything is

being a couple but we arrived we had a

conversation a few years ago my girl and

I had a conversation in which

She told me that she was already working in a

research agency

here in the great way that says is a

research agency in Spain in

the great way

why not put a franchise not to

his

they actually did an ere and they put

the franchise

then my girl in that vital moment

she told me that her maternal instinct was

he was good, he invited him to have a son

as a priority thing

He invited me to accompany her on that trip

but I think there is a difference

important because your maternal instinct

natural pushed him in that direction

it was the most important project that was going

address in his life and he will take

out yes or yes and invited me to

accompany her decided to accompany her to

axis but my thing was a wish that arrives

to be the one who was going to be a mother even

without me that ‘s the idea that I have in

the head did not I however had the

I want to be a father with her and I think

that that’s the starting point is in the

that an inequality appears that then the

society are channeled

of consolidation making life difficult

employment and making it difficult for women to

man’s personal life because it seems

that we are predestined to roles

different then when you pretend

do the 13 plus 15 then then the

Things start to squeal a little

question is what good

ay ay ay figures for hope for

example we have that 85 almost a

little more than 14 percent are the

they still do not get permission to

paternity

as I said before there are people who are

working on this very hard and only

it does not reach 2%

those who ask for paternity leave

shared when we decided to be

parents we saw ourselves in a situation in

the one that my girl had stopped

work was already asking for weird stuff

at work what I was about was

placed in the labor disparate and already

we only lacked fernando león or ken

loach so that social affairs

call a goal you’re doing

it was a bit strange situation

to alleviate this situation that could

have economic consequences in

our our domestic economy

we take three measurements that I see now

very clear but that at that time

we take them with total naturalness and without

think them as much as I’m going to expose here

the first measure that we take very

transgressor was to take care of us

of our children

We decided not to work more to stop

to pay someone to take care of

our children and we have not wanted either

convert the grandmothers of our

children in their mothers

the second measure we took was

buy a car for our son who

I did not have a wheel to do the

paris dakar with this measure we get

first they covered the elevator and

second that apply it do not occupy

too much space in our car the

year 2007

in this way we refuse to buy

the tank car that are bought all

new parents that car you have to

pay it

the third measure is that we do not

we change house

we continue living the same

because as I said before with time

free your children you adapt to your

children but it’s good that your children

also adapt to you

you have to be careful with the resignations

we live in a house that has two

bedrooms two adults and two children

little ones

the cat lacava

the cam has come has returned to our

children do not have 15 square meters to

each and neither do they have a quarter

games but it looks like they are

happy and us too

also living in the center of madrid

we have become a fan very fan of the

collaborative economy

this has to do with the good deed

with telling them that I in a couple of

Sometimes she called my girl the fact

they have stolen our car because I did not know

where it was parked for the

give an idea of ​​what we use are

very fans of the collaborative economy of

the shared cars of the payment by

Minute cars cars

low cost rental

we love that we also have to

say that our oldest son’s chair

the one that goes the car is second- hand

nothing happens and we both have

fed with a bottle prepared with

Game faucet with tap water from

madrid that is a healthy water does not

nothing has happened and besides we are or not

we are contributing to have a

plan e is lined with plastic

We believe that the planet can not stand this

rhythm of consumption and we believe that these

economic measures that we have taken

they serve to have less bonds

economic to get rid of the

obligation or some pressure in the

work of having to do more hours of

have to put up with certain things because

you are more free is more free and you

you can give your children something that is not

can save that is the time

going back to the beginning I think that although

Dad state does not help you beyond

of the 13 days

I think that even if your family does not help you

too much with the subject of your

children if you want to have children is your

responsibility

and should be enough of your reasons and your

reasons to have them

I think it’s an act of responsibility

huge and for the record that since I ‘m

father

I perfectly understand people who do not

wants to be

I say this because I before being a father

I had a life that I considered full and

that fullness

It was as valid as the one I feel now

different but equally valid because

I do not want for anything in the world

put on my children something so harmful

as they are the only sense of my

existence

are children of a psychologist and a

monologuista thanks to the mother listen

thank you very much the father speaks for the

elbows

we have no interest in that

learn robotics with three years

three languages ​​at 5 we refer kg bread

we prefer that they know how to manage their

emotions that are healthy at the

emotional and see the conciliation

as something normal

from the first day the equality at home

I do not have to wake up from any

matrix

we also want you to feel a lot of love

We believe that love is the most

important that they feel it and that what

see home to see her parents

They want us so much that we are educating them

to leave home as soon as possible

because if we get that we will have done

of them some free autonomous people

with the ability to decide and to

defend yourself in this world that I believe that

with them we can improve the time is

very important the time is very

important and when the time passes

I do not want to be the father of my

grandchildren

that’s why we’re educating them like that

I also feel in my deepest

heart that our children and is

important that it be in this order are not

the cause that we want

they are the consequence thank you very much
