I had my annual review at work today and I am so happy! I was worried about it because I’ve been working limited hours in order to drop off and pick up my daughter from daycare.. I started this job as a single, kid less woman and a week into working I found out I was pregnant 😬 I was terrified because I had explicitly told them I had unlimited availability and as soon as I peed on that stick, in the cramped construction office, at lunchtime, and it confirmed I was pregnant.. I knew that that was radically changing. Her dad was super supportive and helpful! Until I gave birth and things drastically changed. He left her at daycare HOURS after closing 3 times. 3 fucking times. I gave him the boot cause I'm not interested in raising a child and a grown ass man. So now parental duties are entirely on me. And financial responsibilities because he refuses to help out.. 😒. I’ve been transparent with my job since the beginning. The first time he threatened to take my daughter and flea I called my boss directly and told her, through tears, what was going on and why I was in panic mode. They’ve done everything to support and help me and I am so grateful. They want me to take on more responsibilities and work towards becoming their corporate quality control manager. Which is awesome! I have all of the qualifications expect direct experience which I’ll gain in 2 more years. So in 2 years they want me to take on that role and I’m excited to do it. For now that means more work that I can complete from home which is a win win because then I’ll be working full days, I can get my daughter to and from daycare, I can spend time with her, and I can contribute more to the company that has been so supportive of me the last 3 years. One of my limiting beliefs is that I cannot be a supportive, nurturing, present mother while working full time in construction and earning enough money to support our family (including a Rottweiler and kitty) in a comfortable lifestyle. I CAN. I CAN DO ALL OF THE THINGS MY HEART DESIRES AND I CAN DO THEM WELL!!!
