AIBU to HATE HATE HATE the use of the term 'mat leave'. As in 'I was on mat leave', 'I am going on mat leave', 'my wife is on mat leave' 'I'm back from mat leave'
Aaaaaaaargh it sets me teeth on edge!
It's maternity leave or parental leave or time at home b/feeding and eating chocolate. It has NOTHING to do with carpets!
I can't bear it. I was at a friend's yesterday and somebody said 'Oh that was just before I went on mat leave' and I wanted to bludgeon her with a cake slice.
AIBU?
