I am only entitled to statutory maternity leave, but in all honesty we could not afford for me to be off long term as I am the higher earner out of our partnership.
I think, sadly that I will have to go back to work after the 6 weeks at 90% is up.
I am thinking of going back 4 days a week, but initially using the remainder of the years annual leave to bring that down to 2 or 3 days and build up to the 4 days.
DH will also work a 4 day week (self employed) and my Mum will help out the rest of the time.
Is this totally unrealistic?
Having to make the hard choice of putting off TTC as the above is not what either of us wanted for our child but due to meeting later in life, time is not on our side......
