I started crying at 6 weeks when I had to
return to work (rtw) in 2 weeks. I still
cry after the weekend rtw. Lol I am
horrible. I had the worst feeling in my
belly for like 2 weeks straight at leaving
my baby and rtw and my baby is only 4
floors below me. Tell me I am weird I
don't care......I hate leaving her
now....She isnt' feeling too good right
now and she is with my sister because she
come with a fever. I miss her so
badly....So dont' think it's easy rtw at
all....It's horrible....But some of us
dont' have a choice.

I know. I leave at 7:30 and i'm back for
3:45 so it's not that bad. Only 4 1/2
more months until summer break.
But that's sort of a long time.

I still think it's crazy that you guys get
6 weeks. We get a whole yr paid at
80-90% of your salary and my company pays
you the diff too for the yr.
It's hard but you'll be fine and you'll
enjoy your time with her that much more.

I think after a year is a lot easier than
after six weeks or even twelve. After a
year i'd probably be ready to go back
(hmmm...Maybe not  )
but I was sooooo not ready after 6 weeks.

Actually we are able to get 12 weeks,
non-paid due to the family medical leave
act. Isn't much better, huh? I work for
a school district and am able to get 12
weeks. I have noticed, though, that most
teachers do take 6 weeks off.
Lil' blaze! You get a whole year paid
off??? How does one not just keep getting
pregnant?? Do people abuse the system or
are there limits? That is so nice!

yup, it use to be 6 months but they
changed it to a yr and they're thinking of
changing it to 18 months! People don't
really abuse the system because you have
to have put in a certain number of hours
to get it. It's like .U.I, but they're
mat benefits so it's more and longer. Or
you can split it with your hubby and he
can take parental leave for up to 35
weeks. Mat leave is 15 weeks and then
you decide who will take the parental.
Like diamondz, her hubby is the one on
parental and she went back to work.

Well, I cannot imagine what it would be
like to go back to work after the baby and
not be able to take them. I am so
fortunate that I am a nanny and where I
work I have been told that I can bring the
baby with me. I have worked for them now
for 9 years off and on, and they have no
problems with me taking the baby. In fact
it was them that told me I could. So I
feel for you ladies who have to go back to
work and are not allowed to take your
kids. Good luck with it and I hope that
it doesnt turn out to be too hard.
Take care.
Mary

Hi ladylee70:
your welcome. It is definitly an option
that I am going to be taking them up on.
It will certainly be a huge load off my
shoulders to not have to find a good
sitter and worry about whats going on when
I am at work. If anyone ever needs to
talk, I am usually not too far. I only
work part time and then I suspect that I
will be off work by june as I am due the
end of june first weeks of july. I want
to have a little down time before the baby
is born thats for sure.
Again, take care ladies, I am sure that
things will turn out fine, and my wish for
you is that you have a smooth transition
back to work.
My thoughts are with you all,
mary
