[quote=Anonymous]Just looking to see if this is something that should be bugging me as much as it is.  I'm working for a family and MB is pregnant with #3 and is due in late January.  After I had been working for them for a few months we discussed the benefits I was hoping for.  I wanted 1 weeks paid vacation, 2 paid sick days and 50% contribution towards my health insurance.  I also said that I would raise my rate by $60/ week once the new baby comes.  She said that she would get back to me after discussing with DB.  All of these were things that I had brought up before taking the job so it wasn't news to her.  She never really got back to me on any of it, just kept saying that she would and needed more time to figure it out.  I went on vacation (planned months in advance) last week.  She told me a month before that it was too close to her maternity leave and they wouldn't be able to pay me for it. Fair enough, we hadn't actually formally agreed on that so I sucked it up.  I still haven't gotten any answers for what I was asking for even though it's been brought up several times.  I'm a passive aggressive person and I'm trying really hard to stand my ground here but I'm getting so frustrated.  I feel like they said they would be on board with what I wanted and now that I'm here working for them they are trying to string me along or are hoping that I'll drop it. It's a bummer because other than this I have no issues with them, they are really nice people and I love their children so much.

Am I asking for too much?

Is getting paid while MB is on maternity leave such a great perk that I'm expected to drop the other benefits I want?

What would you do?

Thanks! [/quote]
