Then Laura's husband stays with their children. John works for an hour or two when the children sleep. John's a programmer, so it's easy to work at home.
When Laura comes home from work, John goes out for a game of volleyball. In the evening, the family have dinner together. Their children go to bed at half past eight. Then Laura and John can relax and talk about their day.
So, what advice can John give to young fathers? "We can work all our life, but only a few years to watch our babies - don't miss this important time".
