Boss Snaps Photo After Mom Brings Newborn To Work

When her boss walked around the corner and caught her red-handed, she snapped a photo and uploaded it to Facebook. But it wasn’t long before her employer’s actions made headlines around the world. In her mind, Melody hadn’t had a choice.

She had done what she did out of pure necessity. But would others understand? She never expected consequences like this, nor the backlash.

Trying

Melody Jett Blackwell was no stranger to life-changing experiences. She and her husband had been trying for a baby for a few years now, but she was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen for her.

After visiting a fertility clinic and undergoing all the requisite tests, the doctor could find nothing wrong. But the doctor wasn’t too concerned, chalking it down to simple stress. But what was Melody so anxious about?

Wants And Needs

At the time, Melody had just begun working as an assistant in a chiropractic office in Brentwood, Tennessee. Just a few months later, she got the news that turned her world upside down. She and her husband were pregnant with their first child!

Melody was over the moon! But she underestimated the adjustments and sacrifices she would have to make on her journey to motherhood.

A Rock And A Hard Place

Now that Melody had gotten what she wanted, other problems began to surface that she hadn’t really thought about. She loved her job and she didn’t want to give it up – and besides, she couldn’t really afford to.

She found herself worrying about a dilemma that all new mothers have to face. But she didn’t want to let her fears overshadow the joy she was meant to be feeling.

So she decided that she’d cross that bridge when she got to it – which was a big mistake.

Time To Face The Facts

It’s common knowledge that new moms run into financial difficulties as a direct result of having babies. Melody had a tough decision to make. Would her husband be able to take on the extra financial burden if she quit her job?

She began to research the cost of daycare but quickly realized that they’d never be able to afford it. And the time to make a decision was running out.
