How did everyone sort mortgage/rent and bills while on maternity leave?

Did you continue to share bills as you did before maternity leave so you used your savings but DP didn’t, did your DP pay more than they did before leave and you less, did you both equally use your savings?

UABU- each party continued to pay the same as before maternity leave
UANBU- DP paid more

The same as before. Be both had the same amount of fun money each and the rest went in the pot. When may pay was less than our fun money I took my fun money out of the pot.

My DH contributed more whilst I was on maternity leave so that I didn’t have to use my savings.
