I need some advice and no judgment lol. back story- I am 29 weeks pregnant right now and over the last few weeks I have been feeling very strongly about staying home with my baby after she is born instead of going back to work after maternity leave. it’s gotten to the point where i cry everytime i think about having to go back to work because i do not like thinking about the fact that i would hardly see her, and someone else raising her (daycare). we do not have anyone else that would be able to watch her everyday while my boyfriend and i are at work. I have talked to my boyfriend about this and at first he was saying I should keep my job since i make decent money. I just started this job 1 year ago this october and i do feel bad that i ended up pregnant after only being here for 7 months. Now my boyfriend is pretty much on board with me staying home because my parents own a business that I can take over since they don’t have time for it. it would be work from home and i am trying to learn it right now so i can do it when she gets here. also- i don’t really like my job anyways, and my coworkers make it miserable to be here so i am not worried about leaving. now after the back story - the advice i need is, should i talk to my boss before i go on maternity leave or should i take my maternity leave and then in the middle of it talk to him, or wait until after and give my 2 weeks? I really don’t like confrontation lol and i know my boss will be easy to talk to but my coworkers will make me feel like shit if they know i’m leaving and i really don’t want to deal with them any longer than i need to. I just need help on what i should do 😭😭
