[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's not going to take care of the infant then you don't need to tell her to front at all. It will be toward the end of her term and you'll have the infant care covered with nanny or mat leave. Just proceed as usual and tell her when the time is right. Best of luck![/quote]

Having a hormonal HM and then maternity leave with HM home changes the job description.  Also, you have to find out if she's willing to be in the house with a baby who won't be STTN and may awaken her.[/quote]

I have had three kids and was never hormonal.  Most women work until they are 40 weeks and you do a disservice to women to claim that they are not as competent or professional as men when they are pregnant.

We had au pairs who were with us for two of my three pregnancies.  All of them were lovely.   I did IVF a few weeks after one au pair arrived and had the baby a few weeks before she left.  I was home on maternity leave when we had au pairs, but they don’t work during the day while the other kids are in daycare, so I don’t think the fact that I was upstairs with a baby really impacted their daytime leisure activities and they were all terrific with the babies.  Give au pairs more credit for being good people and responsible workers.  [/quote]

Some women are hormonal when pregnant.  For those who are, the job/home environment change for the AP.

Some women don't stay in the nursery/master bedroom while on maternity leave.  Again, that changes the job/home environment.[/quote]
