![]() My coworker works slightly different hours so she can go home and still have daylight time with her kid, so she is always there before me. In the past couple of weeks, I've been woken up a couple of times by really loud cars driving by my house and haven't been able to fall back asleep, so I've gone into work a little bit more tired than usual. I work in a customer-facing job that isn't quite customer service, but this is important to note because I was chosen for my job because I can be very friendly and smiley, which is important for my position. I'd really only hear about him if daycare was calling to let coworker know that little Billy was sick and needed to be picked up early. First couple months of working this new job, coworker barely ever mentioned her kid except in passing. I've had coworkers with kids that I didn't even realize *had* kids until the company Christmas Party. Nbd on the front of having a coworker that has a child. She and said child share a room at her parents' house. Said coworker is only a couple years older than me and is a single mom of a 2.5 year old that she has hinted multiple times was not on purpose but has not elaborated past that, which I'm grateful for. When I first started this job, I thought that we might even become friends outside of work since we both have similar interests outside of work, but that thought has been withering more and more lately as I get more and more irritated with her behavior. We share a small office, so it's important that we have at least a tolerance of each other so the environment isn't uncomfortable. I started a job back in March where at my location, I have exactly one coworker who is technically my supervisor because she has been here for a few years, giving her seniority. I'm basically just posting here because I figured if anyone would understand the way I'm feeling, it would be the nice folks here at /r/childfree :) I basically grew up raising my younger cousin (she sends me a card and/or a really nice text every Mother's Day), so I'm just enjoying living my human life rather than caring for or creating another. Either way, I'm 24, do not have any children, but I would really like to have a biological child in my future. ![]() For backstory, I don't identify as childfree, but I don't like the term childless because I feel like it insinuates something is missing from my life without a child and I just don't agree with that sentiment. Little apology in advance in case I get rambly and tangential. Use the filters to see or exclude posts from one category at a time, and "Show All" to return to the original feed.
