Maternity pay problems
Anyone else started work before maternity ends and had an issue with maternity payments? I have just started work my little girl is 7 months old so have 2 months of maternity left, I’m doing 1 day a week until after Christmas to use my 10 KIT days but I was due to get my maternity allowance today but haven’t received it. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue?

I would check that payroll put it on as a KIT day and not as your maternity leave ending. Also check your companies policy about KIT days as sometimes your maternity pay can decrease based on how much you get paid for a KIT day
Your kit days should be within your maternity leave. If they get put in as a working day once a week then you won't get maternity anymore as it'll be in as your back to work. Your work should of submitted this in as kit days not a normal working day
I thought KIT days were paid on top of your normal maternity pay?

Seek Child support or not seek Child support
Im currently 24 weeks pregnant and will be expecting my first born in February. I met the child’s father back in March and have been talking and going out but we’re not in a committed relationship. He told me that he had no children and one day wanted to become a father. He asked me I ever wanted to ever wanted to have a children and I said “yes one day”. Fast forward to May we ended up becoming intimate with each other for the first time. The following day we spoke and he said I needed to take a plan B and I asked him why if protection was used. He then admittedly shared that he had removed the protection . I was very upset and asked why would he said nothing but “my fault, it won’t happen again”. I took ended up taking the plan B and showed him proof that I brought it and he responded with laughing emojis and texted “I didn’t say anything”,. I went ahead booked a doctor’s appointment for June 18. Before my appointment, we had spoken over the phone and I had asked him “what happen if the plan B doesnt work” as I was not tracking my ovulation because I was not having sex with Anyone for months. June I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant. I told him he suggested a get an abortion. I never experienced an abortion let alone having to take a plan B and always told myself I will never get an abortion because I wanted to be a mom one day. After the phone call and hearing his stance I thought long and hard about my decision. A few days later I texted him and acknowledged how our situation was not an ideal one, but I will not be moving forward with an abortion and wanted to know he wanted to be involved in is child life or not. He never responded.
I accepted it the no response and as a response and didn’t bother him for the rest of June or July. And also accepted that I will be doing this all alone with no support or help from him. Beginning of August I sent one text message asking him if he was open and willing to talk in person and he said okay that he will be free the next day so I told him okay I’m also free. Next day came and he didn’t reach out or followed up so I didn’t Bother as well because I felt like he didn’t want to have conversation and I’m not going to beg/chase a grown man to do something that he just does not want to do.
So I just been thinking it is worth seeking child support. I don’t bother him for nothing nor ask him for anything for the baby. Do I want him to be held accountable absolutely, however I been stress free during this pregnancy even though it has challenging but my baby will need things but I don’t even know what he does for work because he kept that discret, but there were signs that he had money. so I’m just stuck between if should just file for child support and see what happens or just don’t bother and keep moving forward

Are we buying Christmas presents from the baby?
It sounds silly I know but What’s the norm?
Do we buy family members a present from the baby or not? It’s our baby’s first Christmas so not sure what the right thing to do is.

Idk if I’m in the wrong
So before we became official we were sneaking around so our friends wouldn’t say anything and he hurt my feelings so I said you probably ducked your brothers bm n he told me to stfu months later I go thru his phone and see that he texted her asking to have sex again while we were already having sex unprotected n all n then when I got pregnant with my son he went behind my back talking to her after I told him how I felt n tried having her name my child n then before that she wished him death saying I should have an abortion idk honestly I feel disgusted n after we gave sex till this day I feel like I’m overly dirty no matter how many times I shower or douch mind you she’s also a stripper that sells herself
