I held it together!

So, background, I'm just about 18w, started this waitressing job a month ago, and nobody there knows I'm pregnant. It's been going fine, until today. Today, my boss absolutely went off on me when I hadn't done anything wrong. Specifically, she went off on me for holding my ground when I was punished for doing a thing I hadn't. Yelling screaming cursing, typical restaurant abuse. But guys... I didn't quit, or yell back at this bitch, or even cry! I didn't do a damn thing except say "we can talk about this respectfully" (wrong answer lol) and then went ahead and made more money than I have any night so far. Five different people told me I didn't deserve that, which felt good, but what felt better was holding my hormone casserole self together for the next 8 hours. Absolutely lost it in the car after work but I do that at the grocery store these days 😅😅

I just needed to let that out to someone who might understand what an absolute challenge that was 🙃

Props to you!! Idk if I could’ve held it together without all the hormones. That’s amazing 🤩

Major major major congrats and props to you. I’m 17 weeks and I have been a bundle of emotions. I finally broke and told work because I just couldn’t stop crying one day last week. You are amazing!!!!

Call HR

😂 tell me you've never worked in a restaurant without telling me you've never worked in a restaurant

Hormone casserole 😆

I’ve worked at a restaurant before and they give you HR’s number during training so if there’s a problem with management you go straight to them so there’s no bias in the situation. I just haven’t worked in any shitty restaurants, sucks that you have 🤷🏾‍♀️

sounds like you've only worked for chain restaurants, please tell me where you think a mom & pop would outsource their HR department to lmao

When our daughters are grown

Are we teaching them that circumcised boys are dirty and unclean?

You’re at the check out and notice the cashier gives you senior citizen discount. You’re very clearly under the cut off. Would you be excited for the extra savings or offended?

Turns out Monday morning at my Kroger and the lady slipped it in without saying anything. This has happened to my mom before and we were both obviously happy with a random discount but one of my sisters in law said she’d die if that happened to her because she’d be so embarrassed 😂

Something you’d never buy second hand?

What is something you’d never buy second hand and can’t believe people do. For me it’s clearly very worn shoes or mattresses🥴

Childcare Funding help

So my LO is under 2 and goes to nursery 2 full days a week. Me and husband both worked and got the 30 government funded hours. However my husband has recently lost his job of 8 years due to the company going under.

The worst part is he lost his job the day before I gave birth to our second child. So now I'm on rubbish maternity pay and he's got no earnings.

I'm wondering if we still entitled to any funded hours or not? I just don't want my LO to lose his place as obviously my husband is trying to get a job and when I go back to work we will need the childcare.

Has anyone been in this situation? Is there a grace period? Tyia!

Marriage struggles

Can someone who has had bad marriage problems before and gotten through it message me? I feel so alone in the situation I'm in and can't talk to my family about it and my unmarried friends are no help. Saying "just leave" is not helpful. If you can relate please comment so I can message you. I just really need either advice or just someone to talk to. Thanks 🩵

Has your child(ren) ever made an unauthorized purchase on one of your accounts?

I left my son to watch tv alone in my room while I switched the laundry over and not 2 minutes went by before I got a notification thanking me for a 1 year peacock subscription of $116.

Luckily Roku refunded me and I’ve since added a pin but now I know it really is that easy for kids to make quick and expensive purchase without us knowing.
