re: Working (or not working

Quoting Mrs. J Soto :-):" I've had full time jobs before, I know in a 12 hour day there is a 15 minute break in the am, a 30 for lunch and another 15 before the end of the day. Or should you choose a full hour for lunch."

This actually isn't true for everywhere. In Colorado, "Workers covered under the Wage Order are legally entitled to receive a 10-minute break for every four-hour work period, preferably provided in the middle of the work period."

Quoting Lacy S:" Sadly the military will not help you out. The help she was talking about is for real emergencys and going ... [snip!] ... so has deployed five times all of wich were over 12 months long.i also was in the military so I have a good idea how crap works"

I did that's what sparked the argument. Like you will go home and spend money that can be put towards bills and things before you leave so I won't have to stress on catching up anything while you're gone. The exact words were grow up and start thinking about us and not just you. It is only a few months, but his whole thing is he misses home, it's all he talks about. Kind of breaks my heart sometimes like what he has here isn't good enough, but I don't mention it. But I checked the support I know it's emergency only care basically.

-_- Ok what I am trying to explain to you is regardless of what the law was they didn't follow it and I didn't try to have a child for six years straight to lose it because they could careless about their employees. Like I said before if it weren't for my child I would still be working there sadly because, but my child was more important than fighting them on the laws. I know about the DOL laws (which differ at every job) I also know about FMLA and Maternity leave. I knew all this stuff before I quit and left because it wasn't being utilized properly.

Quoting Mrs. J Soto :-):" I was working at six weeks in to my pregnancy at a job that was 12 hours Monday-Friday and 9-3 Sunday. ... [snip!] ... harm than good and don't know how to fix it. I am stressing so much and I know it's not healthy for baby. I just need advice."

I guess more detail ned ed to be put in, I'll be more specific. The bill I need to catch up on is car insurance which I do house work for my Oma so I was catching up, but DH decided we needed a new car and added that car to the insurance making the bill go up and making me stress to catch it up. A second job and working is not the issue for me I'm not lazy at all, I'll work until I'm in labor if I have to and miss holiday break. My issue is that I don't think he understands the importance of getting bills taken care of before saving for vacation.

Pregnancy isn't a disability, you can find a different job. I don't understand why some people use pregnancy as an excuse to not work.
