Maternity Pay

Oh joy..
today i discovered my company will pay me only 6 weeks maternity pay
(which is the minimum required by law)
and then if i want to stay home any longer i get the SMP £128.73 GROSS a week....
IT SUCKS
Have they ever considered that sometimes the woman is the breadwinner????
gosh things re going to be relly tight....
I feel a bit down,i just hope Richard can stay home instead of me as soon as possible....
the hormones are not helping,
This would so have been a good time for a Mojito
instead I think i might have a good cry
