I just am sick of it. I thought I could handle a job and frankly I don’t have a choice but I hate it. I don’t have a space to pump at work except the bathroom which 30% of the time is in use during my break, and 90% of the time, the toilet is clogged. 100% of the time its unsanitary and gross.

I talked to my boss and while he was sympathetic, he didn’t really have any solutions to offer. He suggested that I could go home, but that would require tons of gas which I can’t afford and taking hour breaks. He suggested window shades to pump in the car, but after all the necessities are taken care of, I have $12 to my name. I can’t quit my job because even though my husband is doing everything he can, he doesn’t make enough on his own. The cost of living is just too much.

But I hate this. I can’t handle it. I’m on my feet for 4-8 hours at a time and I’m stuck away from my child and if I forget to charge my pump I spend 12 hours without expressing. That’s for an 8 hour shift because I have to consider traffic and other travel times. Not to mention the hour lunch break, which I can’t do 30 minutes because I need the first 30 minutes of my break to pump. In a bathroom.

I’m contacting corporate but I’m just so sick of this and I don’t even want to work but if I don’t work we can’t live.
