But you didn't just take accrued sick leave, did you? You took maternity leave where your employer is required to hold your job for at least 12 weeks based on FMLA.

When do you intend to inform them that you don't plan to return to work, so they can hire your permanent replacement? I personally think it's dishonest to have them hold a job, though it may not be technically illegal. How does fibbing to an employer about your intent to return to work pass your personal morality test?

Then why do you have to start back at the first of next month?

Let's see: Dh and I have been married for 34+ years; we have 3 grown children (ages 29, 27, and 23); 2 grandchildren (the 29 yo is their mother); not one of them has had a child outside of wedlock; all three of them have their own place, work, and take care of all their needs, including financial (by way of jobs). Is that good enough for you. And, yes, I did post that we had marital issues at one time--due to the financial strain of only having one income and the emotional toll that having a special needs childs always add to a marriage. We hung in there and now our marriage is stronger than ever, despite having an unplanned pregnancy when we were in our mid 40s (hence our 9 1/2 yo son, Dylan), and as I posted on our anniversary, I'd marry him all over again.

so you would prefer to raise your child in poverty before getting a job - do you even realize that living in poverty is one of the worst things you can do to your child.

actually your convictions would change if you become divorced.
