How to Handle Awkwardness When Pumping at Work?

post image

Everyone at work makes me feel so awkward when I have to pump. Singing songs and making jokes seems kinda inappropriate .. And having to ask makes me even more uncomfortable - I'm not only a mother but I'm an adult, I shouldn't have to ask if I can pump milk for my daughter.

Go higher up! You should never feel uncomfortable in the workplace - especially with something that pertains to your health!

It's even my managers doing it so I feel like I can't talk to them about it @js mith814

Singing songs and making jokes about you needing to pump is sexual harassment. Maybe talk to them first and if they don't knock it off talk to HR?

Sorry you have to go through that. People need to grow up. What you're doing is amazing. Don't let them get to you.

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.

ekko I see both sides. However, if you both work and him taking off one day isn’t going
2sweetie I’ve never asked my husband to take a day off when I’m sick. I just deal with
boymama523 He gets the choice to call off if he’s overwhelmed or sick. You (all us mommas) don’t.
