[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the standpoint of someone with no kids but has colleagues who handle these sorts of situations with varying degrees of grace:
1. I really hope you had the time blocked out on your calendar (if you office uses electronic calendars) AND that you had already requested leave for the time in question.  
It is extremely annoying to find a time for a group of people to meet and then be told that someone is not actually free and just didn't bother to tell anyone.

In this case, your answer is simple--you are already scheduled, and this meeting would be difficult / impossible to reschedule.  Even better if you requested leave far in advance.

2. If you didn't already notify Boss that you'll be out, notify Boss and lay out a strategy for making it work.

3. If you didn't already notify Boss, make it a habit in the future.[/quote]

This.
If you're in DC, DC's Parental Leave Act of 1994 has you covered, but only if you gave 10 days notice (if possible). If you didn't give notice, you kind of suck.[/quote]
