What were your biggest pregnancy surprises and pet peeves?
in Pregnancy ·
Honestly, I’m just kicking myself because I feel so incredibly naive. I try so hard to be fair and accommodate everyone, but I end up just catering to a bunch of ungrateful, spoiled brats😠😠
It’s infuriating because I can never seem to find the backbone to actually confront them and tell them exactly where they stand😠
I’ll spend all this time mentally rehearsing what I want to say, getting everything perfectly lined up in my head, but the second I’m standing right in front of them, I just freeze up and can't get a single word out🤷
I am seriously at my breaking point with this whole situation. My husband is barely even around because he’s working himself to death at some other job just to make sure we have enough cushion to quit, and he has to grind through it until the end of summer (it sounds silly, but when we first jumped into this business, we had no clue if the revenue would actually let him walk away from his old gig). Meanwhile, my clueless servers are basically doing whatever the hell they want because I’m too much of a pushover to call them out. So then I’m stuck waiting for my husband to get home so he can deal with them, but sometimes things need to be handled right now, not three hours later
Like, the other day one of my waiters asks me if he can head out early because his wife drove all the way from out of town to see him and he hasn't seen her in days. I desperately wanted to tell him "no," mostly because I was thinking how I wish my own husband could just catch the last flight home to be with me, but he's got a boss who would absolutely lose his mind if he even dared to ask for an early exit🙄
I know deep down that I'm the one responsible for this mess, and I know nobody is going to swoop in and fix it for me—it has to come from within😢
