grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Kimbo]

might be a bit confusing and long but thanks in advance if you have the patience to read it!

im at college doing travel and tourism and was planning to go back after the baby is born and carry on... but ive been thinking about it and now ive decided im going to leave at christmas.

this morning in a lesson, we got told that we'd be starting a new unit which is going to last from now until just after christmas... but its an event unit.. which means we have to take a couple of schools out on trips etc

were all being put into small groups and each having a job within that group to do, for example promoting, finance, transport etc... so anyone in the group who messes up will mess it up for everyone else..

the teacher was saying that its extremely important that none of us have any time off and that even if we feel just a little bit ill then we need to force ourselves to come in... otherwise we will fail the unit.

obviously im 22 weeks pregnant so ive no idea if im going to have off days or days where i feel so ill that i cant make it... plus midwife appts etc... and i wont be going back after christmas so i wont be able to do the event anyway..
which means im going to end up letting everyone else in the group down.

theres 2 girls away on holiday now, and 1 girl was off.. so shes said that they're not going to be able to do this unit because we need to be there at every lesson... so shes giving them something completely different to do..

so after lunch i went back to college and during the lesson i asked if i could speak to her..
i said to her, would i be able to do something different like the other girls are going to...

and she said, no i cant go picking and choosing just for you..

so i said well im hardly going to be the most reliable person because i dont know if im going be off. plus i have appointments to go to etc and im just going to let the rest of the group down later on.

but she said, what do you want me to do about it? and just cos your pregnant it doesnt mean ur going to be off more than anybody else. you can change your appointments for out of college time..

then this girl piped up... miss what if she wakes up one morning with really bad sickness and she cant come in?
and her reply was, well i highly doubt it seeing as sickness only lasts the first 12 weeks!

so i told her to forget it and id talk to my form tutor...
then she turned round and said, "i can't give you sympathy... you're pregnant it's not an illness.. shame you're not enjoying it like most people do!"

omg it got me really worked up and i started crying and walked out and ive just got home

was she being a bitch??

(p.s), she's about 50 years old... no kids... not married... and only has her dog for company

 

[SarahH]

awww hun... she sounds like a witch!!!

Good on you for walking out I probably would have done something far worse than that!!

I would speak to the form tutor... and I would possibly put in a formal complaint against her.

 

[happy-chick]

She sounds like a sad old woman whos bitter & twisted to me hun Try not to let her get you down as not everyones like her.

She should be understanding and respect the fact that you have been honest with her about your worries, if I we're you i'd speak to your forum tutor about her and let them know what she said etc, its unfair that she is being this way with you and expecting you to be at the same standard as other students as you cant just predict how the rest of your pregnancy will be.

Anyway how the hell would she know what its like to be pregnant, silly old cow! I would defo speak to someone about her though hun & would also consider making a complaint.



Cheer up she aint worth it want me to go get her for u? haha

 

[Squiglet]

Bitter twisted old HAG!!!!!

Go to your form tutor.. ignore her..

I had the same prob in uni where my dissertation lecturer accused me of being lazy and not coming in to the first few meetings... when oops.. I had been in HOSPITAL having part of my intestines removed... I wasn't really in any fit state to come in.. I even showed this man the letter from my consultant at the hospital and the hospital band I was still wearing (left that morning, went straight to uni), he still said I was just making it up.



I complained to the head of year... and after that he was as nice as pie to me.

And the whole thing about arranging your appointments for outside college hours....er... Workers don't need to do that, the place of work HAS to allow you to attend the appointments at whatever time they may be.. !!!

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

Your last sentance just about sums it up hun, shes bitter and twisted and probably jealous!

Is there no way you can just leave college now? It seems pretty pointless doing thsi year if your going to leave half way through anyway? Just a thought, and would be a lot easier for you

 

[trixipaws]

jeeeeeeeeeeealous!

ignore her hun xxx

i could... but its just money. im still living at home so my mum still gets money for me being at college... but that stops when i reach 20 in january anyway..
but if i left now then her money would stop aswell, and i would only have my part time job wage (cos i have a part time job too)

but my mum said to me when i came home... if i want to leave now then shes ok with it.. she said dont go getting you and leah upset over a stupid cow!

 

[Sammystar]

What a class A biyatch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pilkers]

Oh hun...you need to complain to someone about her...

she shouldn't have treated you like that, after all you were more concerned about affecting your classmates progress rather than doing something for personal gain or benefit.

Pregnancy isn't an illness but at the end of the day it can affect your everyday life and you need to take time off if you're sick or if there is a problem and the college should understand that and respect that.

As for antenatal appointments etc I have the same problem as my workplace requests that you arrange your appointments so that it doesn't affect your work but unfortunately my midwife only has morning clinics and so I can't avoid taking time off work. Luckily they have been very understanding about the whole situation.

You def need to complain though about his old hag...you shouldn't be treated like that xxxx

 

[Tangerinedream]

What a cow. How would she know what its like to be pg?

She actually sounds like my college tutor. I told her I had to go home one afternoon because I was having really bad period pains (I dont always get them bad but when I do all Im good for is sleeping for about 5 hours until it passes). She basically said all women have periods and im just gonna have to deal with it, after all im living in the real world. I went home anyway

 

[leckershell]

I'd say complain too. If a boss or colleague in a workplace had said that, they would need to get their ass kicked, so why should a teacher be any different. And the same for telling the other girls to go in even if they feel unwell.. I'd tell her right where to shove it..

I know a girl at my school who was suspended for being pregnant, the school saying it let down their reputation (posh girls grammar school) for one of 'their girls' to be pregnant at 14. Needless to say her and her mum took it to the local papers and she was let back in again.

 

[Kimbo]

my mum and stepdad are fuming
my mum wants to ring up but i wont let her because i have to face her everyday!!
if she says anything else though ill gladly let her

 

[leckershell]

ditch the course and then let your mom ring up

 

[Kimbo]

ditch the course and then let your mom ring up

i would but my mum loses money. look up ^^^^^
only got until christmas to go anyway

 

[fifi211]

You definitely need to complain, that's terrible

 

[Jen & Her Men]

Kimbos teacher...

She is obviously a dried up old has been who is jealous of the fact your pregnant and wouldnt have a clue what its like anyways as she has never had one.

Go and tell her to stick her broom up her arse and sweep the floor.

Silly old trout.

I would definitely complain about her behaviour if I were you. Its blatantly wrong.

 

[Kimbo]

Kimbos teacher...

me........

 

[**C**]

Speak to the head of the college and complain. What an idiot! I bet if you were 10 years older she'd not speak to you like that.
