My husband called me from work on Monday to let me know that he will be taking parental leave. I was so happy!! We had been talking about it, but finally he decided to do it. Before I was pregnant with my first, I had my own Aesthetics salon. I was self-employed, which means, no maternity pay for me. I am so frustrated with the government, sure I owned my own business for a few years but what happens to all the EI I paid for 10 years. I’ve had a job since I was 14 and was paying into it, so I think the government should cut me a cheque for all of that money. Anyways, this is why my husband and I decided he should take parental leave. The company that he works for will top up his pay for 7 weeks!! So we thought we should take advantage of it, especially since we are done having kids. I am so excited to have him home for 7 weeks!! As I have mentioned before, we moved to this house in November. And I still have yet to get everything organized!! On top of still trying to unpack our house, I have all of the day to day stuff to deal with too, not to mention 2 little boys to raise. So I am so excited to finally get everything organized, especially before the nicer weather comes! Because who wants to be inside when the sun is shining outside?
