[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd go with direct and polite, not a signal, especially if you thought it was a genuine attempt to anticipate and accommodate your needs.  "I appreciate the thought, Bob, but I would like to attend these meetings and I don't anticipate family obligations getting in the way.  Can I plan on attending the Kalamazoo meeting for our organization in August?"   
Or at least ask for something specific directly.[/quote]

+1.  Direct and polite is the way to go.[/quote]

+2.  I had to have a similar conversation with my boss when I was pregnant as she was taking responsibilities away from me in anticipation of me having a kid.  She thought I'd want to slow down, etc so I had to tell her I didn't want that.  [/quote]

I know this is what I need to do, but I thought Boss would have known. Before I left for maternity leave, I was on point. I was working 50 hours a week for a huge project, and everything went well. I'm sad that I have to say anything. [/quote]
