[quote=Anonymous]OP here. We came home early today and talked. She had, of course, been planning on this income, so she just basically repeated that she wanted to stay on. She also said she hadn't had contractions today.

We explained why we were worried that staying on would turn out to be a bad idea, and that we weren't ok with three months of the kids stuck at home. So, we suggested that she work through the end of this week and see how it goes. If she's feeling like everything is ok, we'll keep going. If she's not, or if we feel like the kids are suffering, we'll pay out her vacation and severance.

I think that as long as I don't contest her application for unemployment, they should honor it. I would just tell them if someone asked that our needs had changed. Oh, and since someone was so "concerned," of course we're paying on the books.

My gut feeling is that she will decide to leave this week. When my husband and I talked about it, we realized there was really no advantage to her leaving abruptly today vs. next week (or two months from now); either way we'll need to use temp coverage.

Thank you to everyone! You helped me calm down and think through the options.[/quote]
