All we have to do is to give what are our baby’s need And we should always pay attention to his/her health, food, sanitation just give what are the things that they need.

Jodie–
That’s so disappointing that your school district wouldn’t let you use up all your leave time! With my first son I had nearly six months saved up and they let me take all of it, along with a few personal days and emergency days so that I could teach half time for most of the year. It bothers me when they let sick leave time accrue, but then put several restrictions on using it, and refuse to pay for it. Ugh!

Even in education you can get 12 weeks. Six weeks recovery after the baby and six weeks FMLA. FMLA can be unpaid, but even if you don’t have enough time saved up they have to give it to you.

I don’t know what happened to Mr. Linky! He was there last night. Joy will get to the bottom of this soon. . . .

I don’t see Mr. Linky under your post. Here’s my Thrifty Green Thursday post – A Reclaimed Brick Garden Border http://condo-blues.blogspot.com/2009/05/make-garden-border-out-of-old-bricks.html

I’m a teacher, and we are allowed to take six weeks of our sick leave (if you have acrued that much), but that’s it. You’re not allowed to use the rest because you’re not sick. I have about another six weeks I’m not allowed to touch so I had to take the rest of the school year off unpaid. Then I got laid off due to budget cuts, so I get an even more extended (albeit unpaid) maternity leave! I hope I get reimbursed for all that sick leave I’m losing!

I went back for about 9 months, but my boss wouldn’t let me work part-time or work at home some of the time, so I ended up quitting. It was disappointing b/c I really wanted to keep working in some capacity.
