I work full time, though I wish I didnt have to. I'm the bread winner and insurance carrier in the family...so I have no choice. We're in the process of going into business for ourselves and buying a liquor store; so hopefully if that's profitable enough, I can quit working. *sigh* I pine for the day that I get to be a SAHM.
I am going back to work full time in September, so I'm not sure if I should answer SAH, which is what I do now, or WM, which is what I'll be doing for the rest of my life (gah did that ever sound awful!) lol
I was supposed to start back full time in December but my work didn't have enough to keep me employed 40 hours/week. So they extended my leave through January (unpaid, but with benefits), and then brought me back on 20 hours/week on Feb 1st. I work three short days a week (mon, tues, thurs typically). It's not ideal financially, but I feel incredibly fortunate for the time being.
I put other because I'm from Canada we are allowed 50 weeks total for maternity/perental leave and I will be returning to my full-time job when it's up. Though I am going to try to get them to let me work 29/30 hrs/wk instead of the 40 hrs/wk if I can. If not I may look for a different part time job that will allow me more hours with O.
I work full time (full time salary, part time hours...I have a fab boss!). I work in the office/field 3 days a week and from home 2 days a week with the understanding that some weeks I may need to go in on my home days.
Yes, we get 51% of wage made averaged off the 6 weeks previous mat leave and depending on company if you have benifits you can pay a certain amount to keep them, I think it's half and the company pays the other half while you are off or you can opt not to have them. You have to qualify a certain amount of work hours though, I think it's 6 months 20-30 hrs a week and no unemployment claims in the year..etc.
Re: Another poll - Employment
I voted 'other ' because I work full-time in somebody else's house and bring LO with me. So, both?

Side note, but this is amazing. I'm so jealous. Do you get pay/benefits for the whole 50 weeks?
