[quote=Anonymous]We get 3 months paid leave at my office and also have generous PTO. With my first I tried to do PT after 3 months mixing in PTO but it just didn’t work. I still had to get 40 hours or more of work completed in the part time schedule. Plus we had to pay for full time care because as others have pointed out if you want eventual high quality care you need to pay full time at the get go. Few nannies will work PT even if they know it will eventually be FT, that’s lots of lost wages for them. With my 2nd I tacked on a whole extra month using PTO. I much preferred it this way. I think I’d just do 6 months and then go back full time if I was in your shoes. It’s not that crazy of a transition back to work unless your job requires lots of hours, mandatory meetings, etc. Both times my return to work kind of felt like I never left other than adding pumping. But maybe that was me? [/quote]
