Creative Lifestyle Management: Essential when Travelling with a Baby

A new rule that took effect in April this year allows parents in the U.K. to spend more quality time with their new born children. Called the Shared Parental Leave (SPL), the policy allows both parents to take time off for up to 50 weeks (either in one block or in separate periods) within the birth of their child right up to the baby’s first birthday. The SPL is paid for up to 37 weeks, provided one’s employer has been duly notified.

Although the new legislation is primarily intended to make childrearing a hands-on experience for both parents, couples can also use this time to plan family holidays. After all, you deserve to take a break from work and celebrate the arrival of your bundle of joy.

Delegation allows people to focus on the tasks that matter to them more by allowing some help to handle tasks that can be done by anyone. It’s a skill most people are afraid to do, according to PA Life, because of the risk of failure. Many believe others simply won’t cut it as far as quality of work is concerned.
