Hi all, I am new to this forum and have joined as I have a question that you may be able to answer. I have an employee who’s mother and she have very large breasts and are having problems with back pain, due to I imagine ill fitting bras. The family does not have much money, and in fact barely gets by due to having no husband in the household. I was going to suggest that perhaps they get custom fitted bras but then noticed that they are probably way out of their price range. I would like to help them out, as they are both very nice people, but am perplexed how to approach the subject without coming off as having alternative motives, or crossing boundaries.

You sound like a nice caring person. These things are quite tricky, and being the employer you risk being sued or worse. May I ask how you came to find out they had back pain? This would help me answer your question. |

Hi Emily She had mentioned a number of times to me that she had shoulder and back pain due to her obviously large breasts, a problem her mother also has. The last time she mentioned she feels it is because the bras they buy are kind of cheap and not constructed well. Yes I too thought about the possibility of legal ramifications but I seriously doubt it as I have known her for fairly well for 2 years prior to hiring. A few years ago she heard I also had a small photo studio and asked me to do some photos for her. She is not at all shy about the way she is built and is comfortable enough to ask me to do probably 10-12 shoots for her in the line of vintage pin-up style for her portfolio. Additionally both she and her mother have a small issue regarding legal residency and the last thing they want is to draw any attention. In the end I am more perplexed regarding her mother as she is of a different culture and I don’t want her to feel embarrassed by my offer. Regarding the other question that has not been asked, is no I have not slept with her or ever acted inappropriately. She is half my age and with age I have learned that women at that age are more hassle than they are worth.
