[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long have you been there?  If it's like 2 weeks, I get why they don't know yet.  5 weeks?  Different story [/quote]

I've only been there a week, so maybe I should give them another before asking again? I guess I assumed they would be able to tell me once she had the baby and I started working. I'm also planning to use this family as a reference, so I don't want to upset them by leaving early. As far as the vacation goes, my husband needs to let his employers know as soon as possible  what week he will be taking off. There are also plane tickets to buy.[/quote]

OP, I'm betting you've never had a baby, right? Because you seen to not understand that women plan how maternity leave will go, and then they have to see how their body reacts to having given birth. Some women think their vagina will be thrashed from natural birth so they pick a c-section, not realizing it's major surgery and cuts the stomach muscles requiring significant recovery time. Also, some women think they'll have no problem leaving their newborn to go back to work, only to find they're more attached than they realized they would be, or that their childcare was their mother who changed her mind about providing fulltime care for a newborn.

The parents DON'T KNOW. You can't demand they provide you with information they don't have. You honestly think a woman gives birth and the very next day can assess when she'll be ready to return to work? No. [/quote]
