[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you are 100% sure that you don't want to come back, i.e. you've always wanted to be a SAHM or something, I would take your maternity leave and then come back (if required as PP said to qualify for the short-term disability or whatever your firm offers).  Lots of moms find that staying home isn't quite so wonderful as you thought it would be, and it's much easier to fire a nanny than to get a new job.  [/quote]

Bingo - plus, you earned your maternity leave. It is part of your benefits package. Utilize it and then make a decision. You earned it.[/quote]

Not necessarily true. Many companies have a clause that states that an employee to takes parental leave must return for a period of time, or else pay back the lost wages. I have a very generous maternity leave policy (6 months paid), but it's only for full-time employees who have already been at the company for 2 years and requires a year of full-time employment upon return.[/quote]
