    So this goes to the same manager that tried to give me a hard time about pumping last time. He was apparently looking for me while I was pumping (the whole process for me takes about 30 mins). Not sure how long he was looking for me but he even asked my direct manager for me. On my way back to my desk he was nearby and said where have u been?  He was kind of joking but not.  I just looked at him and said its called pumping. I don't know what this guy doesn't get. I even have my calendar blocked off for the times I pump. He has one more time to say something and I'm calling HR.

    Good for you for standing up for yourself.  Pumping at work is hard enough without having someone totally disconnected giving you grief for it, especially a superior.

    The guy sounds like a straight up douche. Pure, unadulterated, douche.

    Yep sure is. I can't wait to be late on purpose to his meeting tomorrow, and I dare him to say something.

    Nope nothing today. It was suggested that I tell my direct mgr about the 1st situation where he basically told me not to help customers because his meeting was more important. I normally wouldn't and just handle myself but I think I will. Mostly because I also want to make it clear that my pumping needs can change and I may have to pump for longer or more often. So the time I can get to his meeting can vary and I'm not providing a concrete time.

    I'm going to put this here since H is being a TW and I need to complain about it.  The past few nights have been exhausting with S waking up so often and taking forever to go back to sleep.  I wake up with her 99% of the time.  She is in our room so I'm sure H wakes up a little when he hears her, but he then proceeds to go back to sleep.  I don't make a big deal out of it because he does have her the whole day until I get home from work, then I take over and he goes to work.  Her bedtime is fairly early at 6:30/7 so technically I get free time when she goes to sleep.  But that's not free time to just chill out because really what I'm doing is cooking, making bottles, cleaning, etc.  Then I like to lay down on the couch at 9 and fall asleep.  Last night he was off so I did the same thing as usual.  At almost midnight, he wakes me up.  At first I was groggy so I just assumed S woke up or he was waking me up to get in bed, but he had an attitude.  Honestly, I didn't even care to ask what was wrong.  I'm exhausted and never get to take naps.  I can say I've probably had less than 20 naps since S has been here, and out of that probably only 2 where I wasn't holding her.  But guess who does get to take naps...H.  He takes naps with S when he's home with her and gets to take naps by himself on the weekend.  S won't stay asleep with me longer than 30 mins for some reason, unlike with H, she'll sleep with him for hours.  And even though she's been taking better naps, I still haven't been able to take one at the same time as her because I always have something to do.  I'm sure he had an attitude because I went to sleep and he probably wanted me to stay up with him, but no.  And now I don't feel good because I'm not getting anywhere near enough sleep and I'm sure its affecting my immune system.  I probably got 5 hours of broken up sleep last night.  I don't understand why he doesn't get it.  I understand he wants to spend time with me but for my health and sanity, I need sleep.  But the upside to this is that we have a family friend that is going to start watching S here and there and she wants to start spending an hour with her at times so she gets used to her.  I think I will have her come over Sunday just so I can take a much needed nap.  Sorry for the rant.

    @Ladybug2821 fx you get some much needed sleep this weekend!  Sleep fixes almost everything.  I wish I could help beyond just offering my support.  No need to apologize for ranting.  That's what we're here for.

    @ladybug2821 I don't have much experience with a situation like that, but I do hope you get some good solid sleep soon, and hope maybe just maybe, your H starts to take notice that things aren't adding up well in your sleep department!
