Your humor-laden venting is trem...I love this post! Your humor-laden venting is tremendous. (And also a great coping mechanism - not that I speak from experience or anything.) :) <br /><br />As for your boss - what an asshat. So sorry you had to experience that...I think it has everything to do with you being a lesbian. My wife's company I'm sure assumed the same thing about her, until she announced she was pregnant. They were shocked, but they towed the line. Of course, living in California, they would have been slapped with a lawsuit had they not towed the line. But still, they've been nothing but gracious and supportive ever since. <br /><br />So, all that to say, your boss may surprise you once they find out about your journey to motherhood.<br /><br />(And thanks again for finding me...catching up on your blog now, and really ecstatic to have another "crazy" lesbo mom in my circle. I don't think it matters that the baby is not yet in your arms, because they are clearly very much in your heart...which makes you a mom in my book.)Nataliehttp://www.rockpapershutup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081635647446244280.post-25851829866797257022011-01-28T19:26:22.555-08:002011-01-28T19:26:22.555-08:00A similar thing happened to me. When it came time...A similar thing happened to me. When it came time to tell my boss I was pregnant, I sat down with her and said.. "I want to share some news with you."... her response was.. "well, let's see, You're not pregnant, so what could it be?"<br />Ugh.. I don't think she meant it that way though, I think she is just under educated.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557711442554697274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081635647446244280.post-10958754790959751292011-01-26T19:19:00.853-08:002011-01-26T19:19:00.853-08:00shitty situation and I'm sorry your boss made ...shitty situation and I'm sorry your boss made you feel that way. :( <br /><br />On an upside, I just love love love all the little pictures you add to your posts.

Most likely it's because you haven't spoken about the issue before?Strawberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800336069786992859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081635647446244280.post-9901022927839676242011-01-26T07:03:47.491-08:002011-01-26T07:03:47.491-08:00I don't think it's because you're gay,...I don't think it's because you're gay, necessarily. At my work they seem to think that I'd never have kids, either, and from what I can tell it's based on the fact that I don't have any yet. Even though I talk about them constantly. Of course I work in a department where one of my colleagues was 8 months pregnant before she told anyone about it (she didn't show much, obviously), so maybe they just assume that NO ONE will ever have babies, despite evidence to the contrary. On the up side, though--hurray for making you a position in upper management! That's great news no matter how you slice it!Isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257850313625650928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081635647446244280.post-79743486878439143972011-01-26T06:34:13.742-08:002011-01-26T06:34:13.742-08:00Yes you do!

You'd think that as a woman she would have seen the flaw in that statement...<br /><br />Boy will she get a surprise when you need a sub :)abmayfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06074001848829205055noreply@blogger.com
