Is it normal that the client you've been working with for almost a year wouldnt even congratulate you on having a baby. I mean I can understand the time off concerns the client might have but still

Dude, mine had a shower for me...

@OP: super weird and a jerk move, to boot

That is not cool

I got a present.

Seems like a jerk move.

Yeah. Mine gave me a big congrats. They wanted me around but we’re very happy. Sc2 is right. Not all clients are equal

We got baby cloths with the client`s logo on it.......

I didn’t have the best relationship with my client, but still got a few verbal congrats.

Just think how much easier this makes it to walk out the door on the last day of the project and not even go through the awkward goodbyes. Just leave and don’t look back.

Forget about the client, just keep it business. I feel like its impolite not ro say congrats if they knew, but im just gonna play devils advocate and say that you never know what people have gone through in their lives. So if they were kind of cold all along, then whatever, but if oddly, they knew you were having a kid and didnt say congrats, hey, maybe theres some backstory there - cuz even strangers tell us congrats and wish well. Maybe im right or maybe wrong, but im in work mode right now so this is where my mind automatically goes....

My marriage is struggling and we have to pack up the kids and fake it till we make it with my in laws for most of their Christmas break.

Really don't want the in-laws finding out and trying to put their two cents in, and neither does she.

Teaching has taken over so much. I’m a wife and mother and still have a home life, but there is nothing outside of work and home. I have no friends, no other activities, no escape. Covid restrictions do not help. I know it’s not healthy to only focus on everyone else, but I’m not sure what to do about it. I have only sporadic time opportunities and I don’t even know what I enjoy doing anymore. When trying to do other stuff I can’t turn off mom or teacher brain.
