It feels like a bad discrimination movie. A ton of shrivelled up old hags staring at you as if because you are a mother, you are unfit to enter into the workforce. After all, your children are small enough to cyphon off your useful brainpower and if you've got more than one child... jesus... is there any brain left? I half-heartedly click through oodles of wanted ads with a sense of helplessness, after all, no one is going to hire me anyhow. I'm pregnant.
At this point I have a couple of options at my disposal. I could play stupid. I could be completely honest. I could be partially honest. I've already tried being completely honest. For a while I had a nice situation lined up for me. It's amazing how easily other mother's will betray their own kind. Here is a mother trying to go back to work, but in having a very small child is in need of childcare. I offer affordable, extremely intellectual, loving and clean childcare. She goes with me, signs paperwork, puts down a deposit even and then because a daycare center suddenly opens a spot, she chooses to go with them because working with me is too much of a hassle.
I've made things very simple. I mean, I do afterall have to plan for my son as well. I don't know about them, but I do know that I am worth working with a little. The overall payoff for her child's well being, education and healthiness would have been so much greater than the couple of weeks in which I'd have had some people in my home to help with the children. Wow. That's really hard.
I'm now faced with an option. I have another interested party and my question is... should I say something about my pregnancy or should I say nothing at all? When would be an ok time to mention that I'm pregnant? I don't want to be dishonest, because I wouldn't want someone else being dishonest with me, but I know that I might have a month or two where I can still pretty much hide it. What are your thoughts?
