so sadddd

Ugh I feel this in my bones 🥲 starting work again on Wednesday and absolutely dreading it. Be strong momma

It is terrible that in the states you only get 3 months, I feel for you, that is way too early especially for new moms its a new adjustment and I feel like minimum should be like 9 months leave. Here in Canada we have option of 12 or 18 months which I am thankful for (paid) if you have accumulated 600 working hours. My jaw dropped when my husband told me his sister had to go back to work after just 3 months of leave. She lives in the US 😭

I feel you! Had to go back to work a month ago and she was only 7weeks 🥲 I definitely cry for a few days even tho she’s with my husband till I finish my shift and then he leaves, we r exhausted not gonna lie but don’t want to drop her at daycare yet she’s too little we just can’t, she’ll be 3 in 2 days) but you got this mamma.

what a blessing omg 🥰🥹

that’s what higher taxes but also taxing the rich more will get you in Canada. I agree that it’s a great thing to get 12-18 months of maternity leave, just wish they had that in the US.

i’m sure i’ll cry when im alone 🤦🏽‍♀️

some jobs don’t even offer 3 months.. my job is one but i just got super lucky to beable to spend 3 months with her… I need to come to canada because 12-18 months would be ideal lol

i almost had to go back at 6 weeks and i knew that it was going to tear me apart.. just the thought of it made me feel like a bad mom.. knowing that i start work today have me feel terrible because what if she forget about me 😔

Back today too and my heart is soooo suck 😭 this system is so unfair

we got this 🙏

Yes you are totally right we are taxed like crazy on EVERYTHING 😭🤣

i rather be taxed than to have to go back 🤣

Oh 100% no amount of money amounts to staying with your little one. Im rooting for you, I hope it’s a smooth transition! Worst case scenario looks like your in Michigan cross on over to ontario 😉 🤣😭

and that’s if you’re lucky. I did have 3 months but it was all unpaid (fortunate enough to be able to survive on a one paycheck household for 3 months) but there are so many women here who are going back at 6 weeks pp and even less. It’s terrible

🤣🤣🤣 might have to look into that

I got 14 weeks full pay which still doesn’t feel like even close to enough. Only reason I’m not completely losing it over going back is because my mom is going to be watching my baby so at least I know she’ll be getting all the love and snuggles that I would be giving her. Not ideal but it’s better than day care

definitely better than day care

I think it may actually be a good change for my mother too. It’ll be good for her and my little ❤️ still I would rather be home with her but my heart is comfortable knowing my sweet momma will be there

I’ve heard some only get 6 weeks too… I am so blessed to be a stay at home mama
