[quote=Anonymous]I did this. My boss was not empathetic/doesn't have kids/nobody else had done it before. I went in and asked for 4 months. They said it would be hard to do, that they needed me, etc and I said I am happy to do what is needed to facilitate the ball not getting dropped while I am away. I came prepared with a plan on how that would be accomplished. I also volunteered to participate in any big, strategic calls (one occured 1 week after birth). I also agreed to transition back on a part time schedule for that final month. This worked perfectly well! I called into a few meetings here and there, and then in the final month I would physically come in for a few big meetings, and was responsive (within a day) to emails at home. It was totally worth it and I suggest you ask for it! Nothing to lose honestly.[/quote]
