Maternity and expectation of frequent contact

Help please.

I am at the end of my maternity leave.

I was paid 90% of my salary for 12 weeks as a perk of being a long term employee to local government. Then 12weeks statutory and the rest unpaid.

Numerous things went wrong while away, generally due to manager or HR's incompetence. There have also been training sessions I have been asked to attend and did.
So many, many emails back and forth throughout. There has not been a single week where I have not received something from them or some request.

I was not offered KIT (keeping in touch days) despite them being offered in contract, paid. I'm now trying to claim a small proportion of the time spent back as wages. This really would be a small percentage of the actual hours I have spent available to them over my leave. Now they are playing silly beggars and trying to reduce these hours even further. It's upsetting.

Is there anything I should do? Or just suck it up and put it down as my mistake for engaging with them.
