@Chillpr I live in Canada so our gov't pays mat benefits for up to 52 weeks.
SOOOOOO lucky!!!! WHY WHY WHY don't we have that here?!?! My maternity leave is all unpaid and we are only allotted up to 12 weeks WITHOUT pay. SO SAD!!! Working in the US and for the not for profit sector sucks!
we only get 60% of our wages and only if we qualify. We have to work a certain number of hours to get the 52 weeks, if you don't then it sort of works on a sliding scale (work less hours get less number of weeks of paid benefits).
I went back to work today. It was awful. I cried on and off yesterday and most of the morning. My coworkers were sweet and put up signs with pictures of Adam on my desk and I cried all over again. I even got teary on my way home from missing him today. Hoping tomorrow is a little better.
Newly SAHM here and working is much easier! I may get a per diem job or something a little later on to keep me sane! lol I'm sure it will get better when we can get out of this house!! Can't wait for spring.
I voted SS because I am currently working full time (went back to work about 6 weeks ago). However, I am putting in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow! I am actually excited to be a SAHM. I enjoyed staying home during my 6 weeks PP!
I am on maternity leave until the end of March. I wish that I could stay home for a year then go back to work. I carry the health insurance through my job so that is not an option.
3 more weeks at home, I'm loving being at home with my girls, since their only 17 months apart it's almost like I had 2 maternity leaves w. my toddler, so before I go back I'm squeezing in a family vacation, a deep house cleaning and a crockpot meal prep day.... then it's back to the daily grind of 3 kids, home and working full time...
