Today is International Men's Day and we sat down withsomeone who knows a thing or two about exhaustion and activism — Alex Lloyd-Hunter, Co-founder of The Dad Shift and proud dad of two.
We got into the real talk:
*Why the UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe (yes… WORST).
*How dads and non-birthing parents are expected to bond, support, recover, and surviveon two weeks off, paid at less than half the minimum wage.
*And why self-employed parents get… absolutely nothing.
Alex breaks down why decent paternity leave isn’t a “nice-to-have” — it’s a lifeline for men, women, kids, and every non-birthing parent trying to keep their head above water.
We also talk about The Dad Shift’s brilliantly bold campaigns — from life-size baby models swaddled onto London statues to the brutally honest rallying cry: “UK Paternity is a motherf*er.”**
Because honestly? It is. And it’s screwing everyone over.
It is refreshing to see Dads lead the charge and we lookforward to see the change that will follow!
Share with anyone and everyone who believes children,families and society deserve better.
