Right, I feel it's getting to be a bit of a thing where I whine and complain so I apologise in advance coz I'm gonna do it anyway today. My boss asked how I was doing yesterday and I said fine but very tired. So she says 'well, you'll have plenty of time for sleep when you leave'. I leave on 17th December and am
due on 6th Jan. I said I didn't think so with Xmas and baby's room and our room and the tidying etc and she replied that my OH can do that. I laughed and told her he's still working full time, probably including Xmas day and she just said 'well, I still think you'll have plenty of time'. Is it just me or do women who've chosen not to have children tend to be complete cows when it comes to understanding how draining being pregnant is. She also wants me to do a 20 page report for in 2 weeks and to sort out what I want all my classes to do when I'm off. I can think of a few choice words I'd love to say to the woman, including pointing out that I COULD have left 4 weeks ago. What a ...........
Sorry, just feeling very sorry for themselves.
Hey she is being totally ignorant but then if she hasn't had children that will be why, I remember with my first I was working full time manager of a vets and I used to get home and sleep for a couple of hours. That level of exhaustion is hard to explain, never mind comprehend if you've never had it yourself! That said she is lucky you didn't bite her head off, you don't say to an hormonal pregnant woman there is plenty of time to sleep, what a joke, as if night times are for sleeping instead of going for a wee, tossing and turning trying to get comfy and laying awake thinking about everything and anything! Then for the baby to come out and just when your at your tiredest (after a gruelling labour more often than not) you then are up doing the nightfeeds.
No hun you are right to be annoyed. Even if you can't say it to her face you can say it on here - STUPID WOMAN! x
