[quote=Anonymous]I think it's good, assuming the babies are quiet/not disrupting the meeting. Women are so often working while home with sick kids, etc, and I think it's important to normalize that it's okay to do that and shouldn't reflect badly on the parent (either gender) who is doing it. That being said, I do get the jealously/frustration OP feels -- I remember a male colleague talking about how he hoped to have more kids when I was in my first trimester of my first pregnancy and absolutely agonizing about the potential professional repercussions of having to tell my work about it. The fact that men and talk about impending fatherhood without even thinking about the professional impact (because if they have any professional impact, it will be positive) made me incredibly jealous. But my problem is with societal norms and expectations, not my actual male coworkers.[/quote]
