I guess being a mom means you are not able to be competent at anything else, much less be able to juggle both mothering at work at the same time.
My coworker just told me that he doesn’t trust me to do anything important with the students I teach because I have my daughter along with me!
He wrote:
“And I so understand why you do this right now……I really do….But I don’t feel you can be totally productive with the baby in your arms while at
rehearsal trying to clean and possibly write something. But Let me tell you,,,,,I would never ever ask you to leave your beautiful girl at home. I guess this seems like I am right now. But I am not, I am just saying I don’t see you being very productful with her there…. I felt like I couldn’t ask you to do anything with the group because you may have to attend to her needs. And her needs are what is important over the guard. So I didn’t ask much of you at rehearsal because I didn’t want to be a reason of you neglecting her when she needed you. To me and I know you…….The baby comes first no matter what age she is…….And I couldn’t, with good thinking or a good heart, ask anything from you for that reason. I just NEVER said anything because I didn’t want to hurt your feelings. And I actually would, as I do now, feel like, I just said something horribly unthinkable to you.. I know you truely believe you can. But I have seen you in front of the flag line with her in your arms and nothing was getting a complished with them…..But what could I say to a new mother,,,,,,,,,,glad you had a baby but leave her at home? NO I THINK NOT………if I am a mean person like most think I am, guess I would, but I am not a mean ugly person. So I never said anytihing… I just wished there was someone there you trusted with her to watch over her at rehearsal and if you were truely needed by her, you would be right there for her.”
Nice huh?
