Recently I have been terminated by my company. Mostly because I'm exclusive pumping mum and always back home on time. Company didn't tell me the main reason but I can guess. I feel very sad and insecure for unforeseen future. I can feel my hubby is stressful because he is the only bread winner. Soon I will be stay at home mum. My LO only 9month old and I think for my situation now hard to find a new job as well. As I still need to exclusively pumping for every 3-4 hours(my supply is low). Due to breastfeeding, I have scarified lots. I'm being emotional and almost depression. While I see my baby I think what I did is worth it but when I'm alone I feel sad. I can't do what I want to do now. I cant talk to my boss now to secure my job as my time and energy are limited. How should I think in order to make myself feel better?

You can’t expect your boss to be sympathetic. It’s a business and not a charity. If you need to spend time pumping, then I suggest you put in more time at the office and explain to your boss that you are either eating lunch at your desk or clocking in 1 hour extra every day at work to compensate for the loss of time to the organisation. You can’t expect the best of Both worlds - not fair to the company
