[quote=Anonymous][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]

Sure, they likely have a SAHM spouse or grandparents or full time nanny. Get real. [/quote]

None of those are true for the two coworkers I am thinking of.  But you seem fixated on this narrative so I will just let you continue.[/quote]

So you KNOW they don’t have a nanny or nearby grandparents and what job their spouse, yet they have never spoken about their kids nor had to take a sick day for a sick child?[/quote]
