Alright mommy friends I have a serious dilema on my hands that I would like some opinions on. I am supposed to go back to work on June 6th, however, I had originally requested to be on maternity leave until the middle of July. My boss called me a few weeks ago and said I needed to fill out some more paperwork and that "due to business needs" she would only approve to have me out until the end of May. I asked her if I could be out until at least the middle of June and she said she would compromise and approve June 6th. even though I didn't want to go back that soon I agreed. My boyfriend and I have enough money saved up that I can afford to be out until July. my job was already extremely stressful and I was planning on just quitting since they won't approve my time off. I have started applying to a couple other places and stating that I can't start until July. but now I am having second thoughts about the whole thing. worrying that I might not get hired somewhere else before we run out of the money we have saved. We have two kids and I don't want to put our family in a bind. Ultimately I would love to stay home with my boys but unless I find a legit work from home job that just isn't going to happen. I am wondering what other mommies would do in my situation?? thanks guys. and thanks for taking the time to read this long post. 😊
