Ugh!!!
Sometimes I feel like I don't know what to do at this point. I am 24 weeks with my second child and couldn't have been more happier when I found out. I'm torn in between leaving my job or keeping it until I deliver and possibly returning afterwards. I'm on my feet for honestly not that long but what can feel like forever especially when they start to swell. Everyone knows I'm pregnant and only ONE of my co-workers helps me out when it comes to tasks at work (mainly lifting and some cleaning tasks). I've expressed to my fiance that I don't want to feel like I'm putting everything financially on him but he tells me to do what I think is best and he'll support me and I dearly love him for it but I'd still feel like I'm not contributing even if I stay at home with the baby, my first is with her dad a majority of the time. There are also times while at work where I feel like I'm about to explode with anger because either someone doesn't do/complete their job or a customer wants to get smart with me or comes at me with an attitude and I find it hard to catch my breath and calm down. I feel like my fiance and handful of friends have heard it all before so I have a hard time talking about it with them because they've heard it before. I have some tell me to just stop worrying about what others think/will think of my decision to be a stay at home mom (which my fiance has expressed before that eventually he wants it that way) and focus on what I think will be best for me and my family in the long run. And then there are others who think I might be making a mistake by leaving work and not returning. Mind you, I have been held up at gunpoint at my job after returning to work from disability due to an automobile accident 2 months prior to finding out i was pregnant (and yes I am aware that being robbed can happen anywhere, at any time but it's still a scary thing to think about, especially when you're carrying another life inside you), my boss is a cheap and unfair asshole who seems to favor one employee over everyone else (she "does" the same tasks as everyone else yet is completely lazy and gets her way and gets paid more than everyone besides the manager), and lastly, I'm choosing to breastfeed/pump and if I was to return back to work, do not feel like they will provide me a space or time to pump when i have to even though they are supposed to. I personally feel like I have made up my mind but don't want to feel like I'm making the wrong choice. Really just needed to vent lol
