Oh man! So relatable! I actually didn’t get to take Matley because I had my baby while I was a PhD student and I was funded by scholarships. You don’t pay taxes on scholarships. So in Canada, you don’t get maternity leave. I could’ve taken an unpaid leave from my university, but I couldn’t afford that. And if I quit, I would lose my scholarship. So I kept going.
Those are awful choices! I'm so sorry that's what you had to deal with.
