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?

I’ve found mat leave with two a little miserable I’m nearing the end now, but I wish I’d gone back sooner. I’d take it. Your baby doesn’t know, it’s also probably easier settling them at nursery younger. My almost one year old is struggling with separating from me, not eating and crying all the time.
