Im a waitress and my customers seem to think they can ask anything they want. Such as:
Do you know who the father is? (no...because im a waitress i automatically sleep around..)
Are you married? Are you getting married?
Do you go to church? You better start reading the bible... (for some reason i need to become religious because i am bringing a child into this world??)
I'm a waitress as well. Customers talk down to me because I don't have a great job, I'm young, they assume I am uneducated, and they assume I am unmarried and got pregnant by a flavour-of-the-week.
I am SO sick of having to go through my speech of "My HUSBAND is a NURSE and we are very EXCITED about our child. I'm going to be very busy between being a mother, wife, and COLLEGE STUDENT."
Ugh. I hate their assumptions, and I hate having to make sure all of my "bases" are covered when I talk to them.
Oh definitely. I worked in food service for about 7 years, during which time I was in college educating myself. People thought I couldn't add and must have been some sort of idiot which explained my food service job, in their heads that is. HOWEVER. Since food service I have sold cell phones and mortgages, and neither one of the two are NEARLY as hard and demanding as food service was! When I get applications from people at work now (I am currently doing mortgages) and I ask them what they do at their job food service people are always able to give you a LIST. They say "oh well I'm a waitress but I also manage, clean, do cash handling..." I almost always say "oh, so you're superwoman, huh?"
I have to give a similar speech. "yeah my husband and I moved over here so he could go to school. I work here full-time and go to school full-time so it's a decent challenge but I've managed to uphold my 3.7 pretty well." But at least people don't treat me NEARLY as bad as they did when I worked food service!
You pretty much took the words out of my mouth. I'm a full time student and not working, and I look VERY young. As soon as people ask this question I also feel as though I have to include the fact that my HUSBAND is in active duty MILITARY, I am a graduating senior, I am looking into LAW SCHOOL...and ALL of this shit that is basically none of their business. I don't know why I feel I have to justify bringing my little girl into the world. But now I feel better :)
Haha funny when you think about it...Pregnancy and childbirth have always made me feel kind of gifted as a woman, not punished! (I'm not so sure Adam didn't talk her into picking that fruit in the first place!)
yeah, I'm with my little baby all the time and my husband isn't! sure we get the sicknesses and all but the benefits way outweigh the pain, I love talking to my little baby when I'm driving
