I do not get men.......
My boss just called me about a project that I am working on (he is based in Montreal) and suddenly jumped topics to my pregnancy.
He said that he assummed I would be off work in October some time to which I responded that no, the baby isn't due until the end of December and I will be working almost until the end.
He then proceeds to say "So you will be off for about 3 - 4 months right? Since there will still be customer issues to be handled while you are off you will need to think of a contingency plan" at which point he had to rush to another meeting.
I realise that he is originally from our parent company in Conneticut but;
- I have the option to take almost a year off
- I really won't care about the customer issues. We have a big enough company, someone else can handle them.
He is married with no children but seriously....... 
Re: I do not get men.......
I on the otherhand keep reminding my boss that we need someone to be hired so I can start training them by November the latest. His response "aren't you due end of January" Well yes but if the baby wan'ts to come out in December I can't stop it! (hopefully not)
He then tells me that they're only going to POST the job opening Mid-to-end of September. It took them 6 moths to find ME for this job and they seem to think it would be easier when it's a 1yr contract?
And I do all the monthly billings at the end of each month, how can I properly train someone if I only have 2 months to show them that + everything else I do??...
Yikes..All I know I that when this baby is out - Don't call me for 1 yr!
The best part is that I have been on a special project for almost the last year so I really only have 1 customer that I share with another person.
It's actually perfect timing since my project will be done in the next 3 months and there is a lot of "little" things that need to be done for our group if I need more work.
I hear ya... just today my dad commented on my lack of time and work in the office. he asked (feciously) if he needs to hire someone else to work here. I didn't have the guts (nor alternate income) to say yes... please... I prefer to have time with my kids instead of being here.
luckily you have the government on your side, Heather.
I have the government on my side but not company politics.
My DH will be taking 2 months off again but last time I went back after 7 months and I don't know if I want to do that again. We'll see.
