How do you decide when to start your maternity leave? My manager wants me to put in my time off request soon.

She said she is willing to work with me cause ive got awhile still and who knows what will happen in that time. I wanna go as close to my due date as possible

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
I'm working up until a few days before my due date, but I don't get PTO and I'm taking 12 weeks and then going back part time
