Sorry for the long title. Work has been so cr*ppy to me since I told them I was pregnant. They are now being really difficult about flexible working when I go back in January. In fact, my manager hasn't even responded to my request for a meeting, made nearly three weeks ago. I am utterly fed up with the whole thing and I have reached the point where I am on the verge of resigning. However, I have to pay back some of my maternity pay if I don't go back for three months - at the moment this feels like a sacrifice worth making. I do need to work but I really feel like it would be worth the risk to resign now, before I have to go back, and try to find something in a couple of months. DH is working but it is contract work so not a reliable income. The plan was for him to stay at home with DS initially until we feel he's old enough for nursery. If I pack work in now, I would be able to stay at home for a while which is what I always wanted to do anyway - it was only finances that were stopping me. Sorry for the rambling, I would be really interested to hear others experiences. Thanks.
