[quote=Anonymous]On my team, I expect you to be able to work during working hours.  That may mean that all of a sudden a presentation needs to be created, data needs to be analyzed, or you're needed on a call.  I do not expect to hear a baby crying in the background or for work not to be completed because non work activities were taking priority.

As a mom, how could you focus on creating a presentation or analyzing data if your baby is crying that she's cold, wet, hungy, etc.  You can't.  Soothing a baby is not like changing the laundry.  With the laundry, it's 2 min to remove stuff from the washer and stick in the dryer; shut the door, turn it on, and walk away.  You don't give an 8 week old a bottle and walk away.  You hold the baby until they finish and then burb and possibly change the baby.  You rock the baby until she falls back asleep.  If you're breast feeding you still have to hold the baby while she nurses; maybe your hands are free but I don't think I could do analytics and nurse a baby at the same time.

So no OP---you are wrong.  Your niece is doing what she has to for her family.  If daycare is so egregious to you, step up and offer to care for the infant.[/quote]
