My dd became unwell while at school yesterday. After many failed attempts to reach me (my phone was off as I was sitting an exam at university) the school phoned my fiancé to come collect dd.
My fiancée explained to his boss that he needed to leave work (2 hours early) to collect dd. His boss replied by asking what I was doing as “she doesn’t even work”. My fiancé was shocked by her response and told his boss that I do work, she then responded by asking him “well who’s job is more important” he then went on to explain that actually I wasn’t working today but I was at university sitting an exam.
I am absolutely furious at the audacity of this Woman to assume that as a mum and a student I don’t work but most importantly to assume my partners job is more important than mine and that I should always be on call for these situations. I work part time while also studying a full time social work degree. My fiancé has waived it off that she must have been having a bad day but I just can’t shift how annoyed I am!
