I’m in an unusual situation where my husband’s paternity leave policy is better than mine, so he’s taking more time off. We’ve both been home with our son since he was born, and I’ll soon be returning to work while he continues to stay home with our son for a few more months. I’d like to make his life as easy as po...

Hello, I am located in the US but was just accepted for a Customer Service Representative job for Dexus Capital Partners. I can’t find much online about it other than it’s a huge company in Australia. I even went as far as to look up the guy I was interviewing with (over Teams meeting app because of the time diffe...

Baby girl will get here in early September, but since I didn’t finish my bachelor’s degree and am taking a semester off of college, my first loan payment is $230 in November. We most definitely do not have that extra $200 in our budget. Does anyone have any leads on part time work from home jobs or some pretty lucra...

I have recently became a single mom. I have been a SAHM for over a year now. I would like to find a remote job that way I can continue to stay at home with my premie son. I have applied for a few jobs around my area. I haven’t heard back yet.

Maternity leave is coming to an end. I have up to 1 year after returning to take my accrued annual leave. Which would I find more beneficial, take it all at once before going back to work (so 14 months leave) or spread the annual leave across next year (12 months mat leave). Anyone have any advice on this?

Anyone used Gaia funding? What's your experience?

I am currently a SAHM with a toddler & infant. Once my toddler starts pre-school in September I want a WFH part time job where I can choose my own hours. Please give suggestions of what i can do. TIA x

Hello everyone. We moved to Belgium 1,5 years ago. My baby is. 1year old, and I'm a stay-at-home-mom. Before I found out I was pregnant I was an English teacher in a big academy in Spain. Now I am desperate for some kind of remote job, to have a bit more freedom/ flexibility. Can anyone give me any suggestions where...

Hey girlies, been seeing on tiktok/instagram these girls selling digital products with master resell rights (MRR) and a few girls I work with do it aswell and making decent money! Anyone on here do it or heard anyone doing it?? Want to know if it’s legit before going ahead with it!

So I’ve just had my 37 weeks appointment with the midwife and have been told baby is back to back. Any idea how I could get them out of this position? I have heard horrible things about back labour so any advice please xx

Did anyone else not return? Did you have to pay all your salary back? Was it in instalments? If you do go back how long do you have to stay before you can leave with no repercussions? My contract doesn’t say anything on the matter

So there is no way in hell I will starting my own business anytime soon. I already have my hands full. However, it’s always been my dream to have my own “mum cafe”. Like a little soft play/kiddie area and obviously cafe area for the parents😅 I’d love to bake all the cakes, traybakes, cookies etc. Just do not have…

Hey all, I'm really considering not returning to work for a long while!! I'm due to go back in November, but I don't want to miss out on anything! What if she takes her first steps at nursery 😭 I work in the nursery she'll be attending but still!! My problem is though, my partner earns around £49k a year, which…

I'm not really a "I have my rights" type of person, I usually let things go. But prior to me going on maternity leave i was advised about a promotion that my boss said I can apply for. There was me and my friend both up for the promotion. Since being on maternity leave, they have just given my friend the promotion...

Anybody know of a place hiring, preferably 2nd shift. Just needed income to get me a place or my own. Charlotte!!

I am due to return to work after taking the full year maternity off and have been to have a meeting to discuss everything. Whilst there Annual leave was discussed and I was told that I get less than what is in my contract. Apparently this is due to there being an additional bank holiday last year. It gives my amou...

Does anyone know if I work less hours at work starting now, will it affect my maternity leave pay? My feet are killing me standing on them all day so instead of 8 hour days I plan to start working 6.5 hour days but hoping it doesn’t lower my pay when I go on leave.

Hey, can anyone tell me how their payslip was laid out when they received a mix of regular and mat pay in the month. I think my Trust payroll has screwed up as my July pay just has basic pay, it doesn't indicate any mat pay. I asked for my enhanced pay to be paid across the 39 weeks.

Anyone else find this process completely confusing and ridiculous? I have to file with my job but they can’t do anything until I file and receive confirmation from the State. Per state website you apply once leave starts, or within 30 days. As I don’t plan to take any time off before my leave, I am currently 37 week...

Hi mums! If we are returning to work in January, when can we apply for the 15 hrs free childcare? My application is ‘pending’ due to being on mat leave so wondering when to officially put through. TY! X
