I'm thinking about getting pregnant just so I can take advantage of maternity leave. Does that make me a terrible person?

Maybe a fake pregnancy?

Seriosuly, do you guys think anyone would figure it out if you have fake pregnancy? Unless, you're close to co-workers. Then you have to come and pretend to be talking abt babies all the time

Nope not terrible, just a loser who doesn't have a clue about the responsibility of a child!

Do you even know what 4 months with a newborn is like? I had my son really young, finished college and now work full time and I'm a single mom. Having a child takes a lot of you , physically , emotionally and financially. The first year is super hard especially if your child doesn't sleep through the night. Mine did after 4 months but not before that and even after it only gets harder

I thought about stepping in front of a slowish moving car once so I could sleep in the hospital so no not a terrible person, just tired and irrational
