Paternity leaves and the option to share leaves with a spouse are the way forward. I wish companies in the country where I work took a more liberal view towards leave policies.
what country?
Pakistan.
It would be interesting if it was possible to have an order shipped to the store for you to pick up. Like the existing Amazon Locker service, but with a retail outlet folded in.
In the uk there's a service called collect plus offered by lots of retailers online. You get your order delivered to a retail store (usually a small corner shop that holds a western union counter and a handful of cheap breads and things) and pick it up from there.
