Anyone else really annoyed by work colleagues treating maternity leave like a holiday?

Just need to have a rant.... I am soooo fed up with people at work commenting about maternity leaving and treating it like I'm going on some kind of extended holiday. I finish work at the end of this week, and it cannot come soon enough. I'm 35 weeks and absolutely exhausted - we've just moved house so have LOADS to sort out before LO arrives. People at work are constantly saying how they're so jealous I'm going on maternity leave, and I'm so lucky - and it makes me want to stab them through the eyeballs with a biro scream. Angry As much as I'm looking forward to the arrival of my DD, the whole pregnancy experience has NOT been fun for me, and dragging myself to work day in day out after no sleep and baby CONSTANTLY kicking and squirming (seriously, I don't think she EVEr sleeps!) is absolutely exhausting. I'm looking forward to some serious R&R - interspersed with some serious DIY - when on mat leave, but it's not going to last long once the baby arrives, with night feeds and sleep deprivation and the constant stress.... Oh God why have we done this to ourselves??! Anyway, just wanted to get that off my chest. Feel free, anyone else who needs to rant. Apologies to those of you who are having a nice blooming glowing pregnancy - this is coming from 6 months of very little sleep and a lot of hormones!! Blush
