Im currently on mat leave for 9 months + 1 month of a/l.
We are not planning any more children so that’s my one and only mat leave ever.
Im started to think to extend my mat leave by one month to enjoy longer time with baby however that would mean digging into savings.
Im going back part time so still plenty of time with the baby but on the other hand I will be working my whole life so may as well use more time off. Esp that my mat leave is ending in Summer so I could have lovely beach days with baby.
Im really thorn.
AIBU - with part time job you will still get lovely Summer with baby. Dont waste savings
AIBNU - stay with baby, whole life ahead of working and saving money
