With this option now one can stay at home and the other work and then switch to spend that first year at home at some point. I don't think we feel the pinch as much over her appointment wise most of us are very lucky to be under NHS care and can work times around what suits us (if you get a friendly receptionist!) It's so interesting to read how different things were,'that I would've found very difficult. Here I moan about two weeks but goodness two days! How lucky were are!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895363452546128497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5555061853794644772.post-92127515544165205992015-05-29T12:44:32.960+01:002015-05-29T12:44:32.960+01:00WOW....at a time when things here in states keep g...WOW....at a time when things here in states keep getting cut back farther and farther, fewer employee benefits, employers getting down right stingy it sounds like quite a luxury. I hit a milestone this year, the medicare milestone so that tells you how old I am. My DD is 30+, when she was born I was pressed to get 6 wks off which was the standard maternity leave at the time. In fact I worked from home throughout my "time off". I did payroll and insurance work and hubby would take stuff to the office and pick up stuff for me to do every couple of days. I was in contact via phone with my assistant almost daily helping her make decisions. I was the office manager for a 3 physicians medical practice and my being off was difficult on the office. Hubby didn't take anytime off. I delivered on a Friday and he was back at work on Monday. I don't know how people would financially be able to not go to work at a time that's expensive...all those extra doctor appointments etc. <br /><br /><a href="http://homelessbridge.blogspot.com/2015/05/surprise-whats-in-bag-afghan.html" rel="nofollow">Sandy at Bridge and Beyond</a>Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.com
