I am currently on maternity leave and have a 11 month and a 4 week old. I am due to return to work in April. A job opportunity has arisen with a pay rise but same hours/days WIBU to cut my maternity leave short to take this job? I was thinking to return in January rather than April as planned. Will I regret this time with the babies?

If it’s a good opportunity I’d take it without a second thought. I went back early from mat leave and have never regretted it.
