No offence, but

Why are you still running your own service?  Why don't you just give up your service since you aren't making as much money as you would elsewhere working 2 full-time jobs? I certainly wouldn't be putting up with it. 

That's why MT's are MT's and MTSO's are MTSO's.  You chose to deal with your customers.  The MT's chose to deal with the person who hired them. 

Hey, you do have good points, but it's your job.

Sorry if I offended anyone w/my cobweb comment, it was only directed toward TTer, because of her hateful reply/issues.  My day is coming soon when my babymaker will be on permanent ice, too.  It will happen to all of us. 

My language might have been a little strong, but I have had 2 children while working in this business, and I just get fuming mad at people (like the PP) when someone acts like i am a lazy slob because I take a few weeks off to heal and baby bond.  You would think in this business where the workforce is probably close to 80% to 90% female, we would be a little more supportive of one another. 

My job doesn't suffer because I am a mother of small children.  In fact, it encourages me to work harder because I have someone to support other than myself, and it seems like on this board people think working mothers are just a boil on their potoots.  It is infuriating.  I have had nasty comments much like the one the PP made, and it just makes my blood boil. 

And to the OP, no company is allowed to discriminate because of pregnancy-it is ILLEGAL, and it doesn't matter how long/short you have worked for the company.  If they give you any grief (which I doubt they will) find an attorney.
