I was working classic full time 40h/week, then took a parental leave for my first newborn that allowed to work 80% (so 32h/week).

Based on the law here, the employer could have denied the 80% but I could have asked 6m totally off and they couldn't have said no. Anyway, they accepted the 80%. This lasted for 20months. I then asked to have another one for my second kid, as no issue arose during the first one and I was productive, it was granted.

Finally, I negotiated to remain at 80% permanently.
