I was a stay at home mom for a few years after my middle child was born in 2011. I started at Kroger in 2014 and then I had to leave in 2015 because I broke my toe and i was not allowed to work in the deli with a boot on due to safety reasons. By the time I got the boot off and was released to go back to work I was no longer physically able to do my job requirements due to being pregnant, which is why I left Kroger and became a stay at home mom again for the next year or so until I went back to work at Kroger in 2016.
