[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is probably younger and expects the company or organization to bend around her needs.  I mean honestly, the expectation that you are working but can't take meetings to get your kid to school is outrageous.

Get child care, attend the meetings, or find another job.[/quote]

Also every working couple with kids one spouse always makes it clear their job is more important and other spouse and just needy and annoying to their boss and coworkers

I recall this women with one kid who worked for me once like this all the time I bent over backwards for her.

One day she goes you don’t know what it is to have a kid. I responded i have a 2, 7 and 9 year old at home. She never asked me if I had kids in her first 9 months at work [/quote]

Why would she ask if you have kids? I never ask that, it’s completely inappropriate of any gender.

Clearly if you had THREE kids and she had no clue, they were not a big part of your daily life and never impacted your work schedule. [/quote]

This seems unfair.  I have a few coworkers who have very distinct boundaries between personal and professional.  They never speak about their kids at work and it doesn’t impact their schedule.  They make it work.  [/quote]

Well the PP is a male complaining about his female colleague, and we know who is default parent 99% of the time, especially 15 years ago. [/quote]

It’s called sharing. A women has to go to a once a week or once a month 8 am meeting the husband should step up.

I work with a wonderful women who leaves 445pm everyday to pick up kid daycare.

Next week we have the only after work meeting team building event of the year. She declined. It is too much to ask her husband to pick up kids even one day out of year.

I don’t get it. [/quote]
