You earn about €3000 per month as a mother. During your 3 month maternity leave, you get 82% of your regular income during the first month and 75% of your income the remaining months. How much money will you receive for the 3 months of maternity leave?

Month 1 (82% of regular income): €3,000 × 0.82 = €2,460
Month 2 (75% of regular income): €3,000 × 0.75 = €2,250
Month 3 (75% of regular income): €3,000 × 0.75 = €2,250
Total: €2,460 + €2,250 + €2,250 = €6,960

You need your baby to be happy and awake for her first birthday party at 2 pm. The baby needs 2 naps before this time of about 1-1.5h. Between naps, the baby needs to be awake for at least 2.5h or she won’t sleep. You still need to drive about 1h to your parents house where the party will take place.
