Work-Related Rant
Grrrrr... I was just walking to a partner in my business.
Earlier this year, she had expressed that she and the other partner wanted to start backing out of the business a bit with the intention of being totally out in 10 years.
Today, as we were discussing other things she mentions how I've "wrecked everyone's plans" by getting pregnant again. She then goes on to tell me that the other partner was thinking they would be out in 2-5 years and she was thinking more like 5-7 years.
WTF?
When I said something about 10 years she said, "well, yes, totally out in 10 years."
So, now I am feel guilty about all of this crap, too. Damn it! Just add it all to the stress factor.
How can this pregnancy be causing me this much anquish? I thought I was done with that kind of stuff. Honestly, it's bringing back so many of the same feelings from when I was a pregnant 15-year-old; how it was going to "wreck" my life.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
What kind of a thing is that to say???? Why are you responsible for her plans? And what about your life plans? I don't know what your business is but even if you are talking 2-5 years out, there are plenty of ways for the three of you to work it out so that you all get what you need long-term. Bah. This makes me MAD for you.
Fuck her. What's wrong with people? Pregnancy is a beautiful wonderful thing. Why does someone always have to bring you down?
i guess you have to let them go. don't give the wrecking plans comment more weight than that ignoramus deserves. forget that completely. it was too out of line, probably out of bitterness (a childess woman maybe?) to dignify with your attention. but if they're backing out, that's their right. it can be a new beginning for you too.

It's easy to say just ignore them. I also am a mom with a business partner problem. I have one partner and we work in very close quarters. Basically ever since I was pregnant last year she has gotten all weird and passive aggressive and pouts around the store like a child. I am sick of her shit. Yet I also need and want my business to succeed so I can't just totally brush it off. The whole ting makes me so enraged I want to just smack her. It's exhausting, trying to figure out how to make it work. I quit the corporate life b/c I wanted to be in control of my own life. Now I have a business partner who I'd like to throttle. It's extra special when she -- a single and childless 36 year old -- likes to give me marital and parentla advice (that is, when she's speaking to me). Maybe I should just walk away and get a job working for someone else -- but then, she'd win (in her perverse way) and I don't want that to happen.
your partners sound pretty selfish to me. do you really need them? i'm so sorry they are treating you this way because it certainly isn't necessary.

I assume this person does not have children. too damn bad for her plans, maybe she wrecked your plans of having a nice peaceful pregnancy.You obviously have to deal with this person , but I would have some sort of meeting and talk to everyone ( all partners) at once so there is no behind the back bs. and say I am sorry if you guys are not supportive of my pregnancy but I am a partner here and I am having this baby so the next thing to do is try and make this work for everyone. not that you have to do this but you do have to deal with this person/people so may as well try and make it go as smoothly as possible, especially because you don't need anymore stress.

Oh, for Christ's sake. You've wrecked everyone's plans? Boo hoo. Sorry - I'm a little bitchy today, but SERIOUSLY. How about a little bit of happiness for your family?
YOU are going to be just fine, you haven't wrecked a thing. But it does sound as though your partner is reverting to her 15 year old self. I cannot imagine even saying that to someone who is expecting - it boggles my mind.
