HELP! I have a customer who is pretty much my bread and butter at this business, she does at least 4 shows a year and they are high in sales. Here is the problem. She wants to do a cooking show at her house on Oct 4. As of today, I am 4.5 weeks pregnant (first kiddo), am slightly high risk due to age and other issues. So, I am wanting to wait to tell people until at least 8-10 weeks along. Problem: I am having significant morning sickness (okay- all day sickness!!) especially being around/smelling food. I don't feel I can tell her about the pregnancy b/c she knows a lot of the same people I do, who would be VERY hurt if I told her first. How should I explain to her that I can't do any cooking but will gladly talk about new products, etc? is there some kind of theme show to do? Even if I don't cook...I know she will have a lot of food, etc for her guests and that will send me reeling. :yuck: By the show date, I will be about 6-6.5 weeks along (hopefully)...I just don't know what to tell her. Heh heh- have her sign a confidentiality agreement? It is a little white lie, but I could tell her I have plans that day but will leave her with the catalogs, etc since actually they do a lot of socializing at her shows typically and don't pay much attention to me anyway. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!!!
