I'm due in October. After a 12 week leave, I'd go back January 2. I don't know the person who I'll hire to keep my baby because I only have one relative here and everyone else is new to me. My family relocated here last year and will move again in 2-6 years to be nearer to our family. I love my work, but I can also work in my other talents from home with the exception of meetings. WHEN SHOULD I SHARE THIS WITH MY BOSS? (I teach computer classes part time and will do about 8 hours per week in January...that is until I resign, if that is what me and my family decide) I also have a 13 year old who needs me home. PLEASE ANSWER! Thank you!!!

It is not unusual for women to return from Mat Leave and resign, and there i nothing unethical about doing so.
Remember, your family comes first... so if you can stay home and work part time - good for you!
Spend some time when you go back to work putting together a "reference guide" for your desk/position. Once you have completed it, go to your Boss and resign. But share the guide with him/her and let them know that you are truly concerned with the continuance of your position in good order.
Give plenty of notice - a month if you can, so your Boss can find a good replacement and that replacement can spend time with you for some training.
Remember- you NEVER want to burn bridges behind you.

I feel that if you have other means of making money I say go for it. I know after I had my son I took off work as well. I really didn't trust anyone with my newborn and it was a bonding time for me. I think if you are planning to work only a few weeks after you come back from maternity leave you should at least give a two week notice to your boss so they can find someone that will be able to take your place in teaching the computer class. Lots of woman make this career change after having a baby, but you don't want to burn any bridges so that's why I say give the two weeks and let your boss now. You never now when you may need that same boss to vouch for you when you are ready to return to the work force. Good Luck & Congrats!

It is ethical, and it is very important to let your boss know what your plans are immediately upon your return from maternity leave, as you only plan to work 2 more weeks, anyway. You'll have then posted your 2 weeks notice. I understand your dilemma in this matter, as my wife and I chose the same options as you have. It is very important to allow you time to spend bonding with your new baby, as well as your teenager. In addition, you will not have to invest your money in daycare for your youngest child. Those costs can easily add up to thousands of dollars every month. Anyway, good luck to you.

You gotta look after you own. Your employer wouldn't put your interests above theirs; you shouldn't put theirs above yours either. But, it sounds like you may not have to quit your job. I would say talk it over with your boss ASAP, tell him/her that your situation is going to be difficult and that something's got to give. If they want to keep you they may be able to work something out.
