[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A PP asked but I didn't see an answer: how much more time are we talking? 1-2 additional months, or another 6 months?[/quote]

I was asking what others may have done in this situation to try to gauge an answer to this question. But instead I got baseless accusations and almost entirely unhelpful nonsense. Just so upsetting. [/quote]

OP honestly there aren't many other people in your shoes who have been able- whether financially detrimental or not- to take SIX MONTHS leave.

You need to decide if you are going back at all. If you need to because of finances or because you will lose your job (see finances) then you go back. Unless your company is willing to do WAH and you get a nanny or you can go PT, these discussions are moot. The options are to go back to work or SAH. Only you can decide whether the latter is tenable.

I will suggest that you do a gradual timeline for separation from your child. I started for the first week for only 2-3 hours, the next week 4, then 6, then 8. We staggered hours so that 8 was the max time in care. It was important to me to minimize time apart and also go slowly for both of us. [/quote]
