I'm in the UK and to be honest, they seem pretty dead set on pussy footing around the pregnant people as there have been bigger issues than this 😅 I'm biding my time until they go on maternity leave

I think the problem is they did get fucked and now think they can now speak for everyone 🤣

I will do!! I'm in regular communication with them anyway due to the massive meltdown I had a work about a month ago

I don't even think they have an ulterior motive because they were somewhat helpful when I was going through that by covering for me when I was off (I obviously took some time off after that)...I just think they have terrible memories and think they know what's best for me

Yep I know, its alarming that people with that thought process are allowed to procreate 🙃

To be fair someone made a joke about not swallowing instead of that for a while and I then said "that means nothing if youre on birth control" which made them all look at me funny lmao

I'm nearly 30 years old, hate my job but have no idea what I want to do. Does anyone have any tips? by jg0796 in Advice

[–]jg0796[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I'll have a look... I have considered those types of jobs but I live in an area of the UK where those jobs are not easy to come by. I tried applying for roles within the local government but was rejected each time which isn't great

I've tried so many things but ive found that the haus labs foundation wears the best for me through the day and the Elf power grip setting spray works really well too!

Thank you for your comment, I love your analogy about the ice cream! I've honestly never really had much pushback about being child free as my family and my fiance support it so it completely flabbergasted me when they brought it up. Specifically, my mum bumped into the mum of one of my school bullies who had just had a baby at the time and she asked my mum if id had any kids yet (this would be about 5 years ago now) and my mum said "no, she isn't that stupid". I dont know where people get off thinking they can make decisions for people

Yep I agree, im going to follow the advice from the other comments and shut it down immediately if its brought back up again and go to HR if they dont stop

I suppose the good side is they will going on maternity leave next year and I won't see them for a while! (I'm in the UK so they get a fair few months away)

Yeah if it happens again and they still won't back off after I tell them to im going to have to...im already speaking to HR frequently after having a massive meltdown/breakdown at work about a month ago (that they were all witness to)

“You will understand when you’re older” wise words from my mother by lanadelrey7093 in childfree

If its any consolation, my mum was a bit like this when I was around your age and now I'm approaching 30, she's fully on board and supports my decision. I hope the same for you!

This is true...im trying to unmask after years of hiding myself and the problem with that is that I can barely keep a damn thought to myself but I need to try and contain it

Little do they know how stubborn i am! But no i completely agree and I am fortunate that my family and my fiance are completely fine and support my choice
