Yeah and my manger on the team has kids and she understands but gosh this one manger is just getting on my nerves. I think sheβs secretly mad because she might actually be held accountable to do what she needs to do instead of them letting her skate by
Think about how you can use humour to reply back. This is no vacation. Recovering, taking care of baby and managing feeding, chores is huuuge!
E.g. itβs funny how you behave like my first lil boss - Cute and clueless about a mums hardships.
Or something more sincere in reply, like
I am glad that we as a team can educate and support each other in such life moments.
Do express your appreciation to the team as you need to focus on your personal front
Coach
a better deal than I should, but she calls us out in front of the entire team. She doesnβt have kids so Iβm sure she thinks that maternity leaves are vacations, but gosh I just am sick of being called out for having another baby
Coach
I agree with the positive response idea/ take the high road: "Thank you for supporting me during this transition, and I'm happy to help where I can before going on leave!"
Def take detailed notes on where you're at in your work starting December. I came back March 1 after a 4 month mat leave... And had to issue all my March 31 deadlines which were completely not handled appropriately π if you're friends with your direct manager I recommend asking her to track important info or changes that happen while you're out in word or one drive so you can catch up easily upon return instead of sifting through a thousand emails (literally)
Most importantly, people are jerks sometimes. Just don't let this guilt you into checking email or doing any other work on mat leave!! Babies grow up so fast

Id say something snarky like βDo you want me to move my due date to better accommodate our work scheduleβ¦?β And let her feel like the jackass she is.
Coach
I donβt like her at all and I feel like people cover for her because she used to be the only one in our department like 6 years ago. She tends to think she knows it all but then wonβt delegate anything and then stresses out because of it
