FFFC

in Parenting after 35
I start work Monday, back from mat leave after 1 year. I am mostly ready to be back, but I still feel like I need one more month to get my poop in a group. Flame me, because I realize south of the border, mat leave like this is unheard of and unpaid. I should be happy with what we get, but knowing this is the last time I get leave, I'm kind of sad that I didn't get through my bucket list of things to do; we had some unavoidable crisis come up and literally took up have my leave. Is it bad I feel cheated??

    I think no matter when leave ends it stinks.  I had Margaux in Quebec, I ended up quitting.

    I agree that we always feel cheated. And yeah, my British SIL quit after her year of mat leave was up.

    Not looking to quit, can't afford to (esp. since I'm the one with health coverage), and I do like my job. I suppose most of my beef is with L being hospitalized when S was a newborn and spending over a month inpatient, and then we had follow up sometimes everyday, and that didn't taper off until April. It felt like I was at work, the trip was 85km one way, and often it was at least half a day's trip or longer.

    I feel bad for S, because she was being hauled everywhere. I hope for a year with no hospital stays so I can make it up to her.
