is it okay for me to be quiet?

Hi everyone! I'm a preschool teacher. I am 6 months pregnant. When I came in for a Saturday duty, i was asked to wash three types of toys in all classes. From pg to K2. As well as wipe all the tables. My boss kept indicating to do it slow and I'm not the type that says no when she talks. But as I was doing class by class, my legs were all aching. I mean as a woman she should know right ? I'm so confused. Should I tell her off? Please help. Thanks 🙏🏾😬

As a preschool teacher, it is within your duty/job scope to clean the toys. Understand that there are typically lesser or no children to tc of on Saturdays and hence, washing of toys commonly take place on this day of the week. From what you had shared, ur boss is understanding of your pregnancy by reminding you to do it slowly. You need to be open in your communication with her if you are unhappy about doing the task. Do not expect all women to understand the situation because not everyone goes through the same experience as you. Go speak to your boss objectively if this duty to the children bugs you still.
