3rd Trimester

Do you really think you'll need all six weeks?

I had my meeting with the Boss Man today and this is what he asks me.  *chuckles*  I felt really sorry for him because he's so dumb.  I simply said yes.  Seriously...what a boob.

  • I thought for sure my boss would ask this but thankfully he did not.  He just did the eyebrow raise at eight weeks. lol.

  • "Does he really need his penis?" was my first thought.  Dumb man!

  • You should have said you actually think you'll need 12...but 6 is all you can get.  What a jerkface.
  • I thought you were asking this question to the bumpies.  I was like, "Whaaaaa?"  LOL.

    Tell your boss he can shove it... or hire an in office nanny :)

  • Today my boss said "so you'll be back after two weeks, right?" I know he is kidding but it makes me feel bad that I'll be out for 10-12 weeks.

  • That would irritate me.  

    Ask him how much time he'd require for a ripped anus, consistently leaking blood and leaking nipples, for no sleep due to constant feedings....and then ask if it'd be ok for you to walk around the office with a baby latched onto your boob. 

    With these 6 weeks, it's not just about the medical aspect of giving birth.    I would say it's more about the lifestyle changes in general and needs of the baby.  

  • UGH!!! men! sounds like my boss last week-he seemed to think me asking for 8 weeks was ludicrous!

  • He should count his lucky starts you're not taking the full 12 weeks that FMLA allows.

    I got the eyebrow raise and eye roll from my Manager when I told him I was planning on taking the 12weeks that I am entitled to.  He was telling me that I can only take 6wks.  And htis is a recruiting/hr manager! dumb @ss

     

  • is he a single boy?  god men can be totally dumb
  • That makes me feel better, my boss did the same thing! When I said yes I need 6 weeks he asked if there is any way I would be willing to compromise with a month. Ummm...no.
  • Wow, nice. What a jerk. Maybe he should call his mom and ask her if she would have liked 6 weeks.

    Nope.  Married with two nearly grown girls.  His wife has always been a SAHM.  He's clueless.  And very tight. *snickers*

    This was what I thought, too. Dumbass...I'll bet his wife is a SAHM, and he took the "weekend" off when his children were born, leaving her to do the rest.
    Um, yeah. The Bump be too crazy for pics of my kid.
  • LOL! Personally, I was the one that couldn't wait that long!
  • I thought my boss would ask the same thing but he gave me 12 and told me to take more if I need them.  P.S. I work in the golf business so our season ends right as my 12 weeks come to an end - no need to hurry back)
