Hi Dawn, after reading your note, I see the conflict that you are
describing. Renting on behalf of a LLL group, as part of a LLL group, puts
you into a different situation. This is why I went on Leader Reserve after
many years of active leadership. It is too hard to keep these separate, for
me, and after many years of volunteer work (which I still continue as
listmother here, unaffiliated with LLL, of course), I decided that my LC
work is my livelihood. I could not afford to give it away any longer. The
waters can indeed become murky.
I explain how to use the pump, and that takes me 15 minutes. I do not show
them how to use the pump in a normal pump rental. Most moms like privacy
for that anyhow, at least here in Vermont.
As for thinking it over, it's always good to review our roles, our work,
and make sure that it still fits for us as we move along the path. Changes
can always be made. No one should resent you for that, Dawn. Sounds like
you've been contributing well ....
Kind regards, Kathleen
