So, DD 7mo, back at work 6 hrs a day, 4 days a week.
Partners have arranged for me to have a room to pump in if need be and to keep milk in the fridge until I go home. Have been very accommodating and lovely.
So for the first time on Wed I pumped and put milk on the top shelf of the freezer. I made a little sign which I stuck to the door saying 'The milk on the top shelf of this freezer is breastmilk. Do not use!' I thought this was polite and courteous.
Today one of the partners (and if you are a mumsnetter please don't out me!) said she had removed the sign because there had been comments about it - to which in my gob smacked state I replied 'oh, boys are so silly!' but apparently it was 'not only' 'boys who complained but also some women!
I am just baffled that the people that I work with, who I always thought were lovely and considered pretty much all of them friends, would actually be so peturbed by 3oz of breastmilk in the freezer that more than one of them actually went to the partner and complained! I don't know who, she wouldn't tell.
Apparently, it's ok to keep milk in there, but not to have a sign, because some people are 'squemish'. I thought H&S-wise we would be better with a sign, but hey ho.
And, dd won't even take a bloody bottle (or cup), so ATM am donating it local milk bank - to save baby lives, people. Kind of important.
Have various revenge scenarios running through head, but have so far managed to resist.
I am just feeling unreasonably upset by this I think. Or am I? Should I do anything?
Sorry for ramble, just wanted to get it down as therapy!
