four pregnancies now
Another girl is pregnant now that makes them 4 pregnancies in one department (nesait agool mashallah!) I know I sound mean. Problem is our summer vacation. We’re 7 girls, including myself. Dodo gives birth in March and is taking 40 day maternity leave. Second co-worker gives birth in April. Third, gives birth in May. Fourth, gives birth in August.
Now you do the calculations, the rest will take around 2-4 months maternity leaves. So number two will come back in August. Number three will come back in Sept. Number four might take up to 6 months leave, maybe less. As for myself, I haven’t taken a real vacation for the past two years and we’re planning on taking one the coming summer if all goes well, dodo too. She wants to cut her maternity leave to 40 day so she can visit her family in the summer and she hasn’t seen them for two years.
Who’s left. Me, dodo, co-worker no. 5 and 6. I feel it’s just so selfish of them to not think of others oo bas! I don’t understand girls, one girl is pregnant and they all want to be pregnant!! I don’t care about everyone I’m so taking a summer leave … oo bas! I’m not taking no for an answer even if it means I hand in my resignation!

Are you saying that they chose to be pregnant to have a holiday? Thats a bit extreme. I do not think there is anything selfish in wanting to be pregnant

hasan, nope it’s not about that, nothing wrong with being pregnant. It’s the time. it’s not selfish as long as you consider others at work perhaps a tinsy bit, that’s all I’m asking for.
eshda3wa, yah right!! they don’t care about anyone but themselves!
3baid, lol it would be too funny. I’m sure there will be more surprises to come!

What a situation you are in, you seriously have to figure out how to schedule the holidays! I do that a year ahead like everyone else!
