- cThat all days are used before the child turns oneAtt alla dagar ska tas ut innan barnet fyller ett år
- dThat the parent who earns the most stays at home the longestAtt den förälder som tjänar mest ska vara hemma längst

The days that only one of the parents can use are meant to make both parents take responsibility for the child. This is part of Sweden's work for equality between women and men.
