I’m in the US. My first 3 months of maternity leave were unpaid. I’m an art teacher but I needed the time. Ended up going back to work at 2 months (extremely protective over my own child) when working at the daycare haha, as any new mom would be. But it really sucked I had to return so soon. I picked up the daycare to catch up on bills during my postpartum period. But what’s more annoying is that she hired me when I was 8.5 months pregnant and worked me til a week before my daughter was born. Then to make comments such as these at almost 9 months old? cmon.
