TTC, I run my own business and have 8 members of staff. I cannot see how I could manage to take ML without the business suffering.
DH works in the NHS and could take SPL.
I feel although this is an amazing opportunity for him, I would be missing out. I don’t really have any local friend (we relocated a couple of years ago and building the business has been my priority). I hoped maternity leave would be an opportunity for me to meet other local mums and make friends. Not really relevant but DH has quite a lot of local friends he has made through work/football/gym etc. I worry that he would struggle with SPL, I have one friend who’s DH who took it in London. He found that most of the activities were mum & baby and whilst he was welcomed he was the only dad and not really included - it was only after 6 months he discovered a great dads club. I worry that if he struggled in London how mine would cope here.
I don’t know any other family that have used SPL.
I guess my AIBU is around having a very short ML - will I manage, will DH manage, pretty sure baby will be fine. And AIBU to feel a bit resentful that I’m not going to have much time with my baby?
Has anyone taken SPL and how dad they find it?
