It's pretty insulting that you assume only other moms can be good managers.

Honestly I find that people with kids tend to be more understanding of parents.  When I was a manager I had a guy that was late all the time when his wife was pregnant plus they already had one kid.  I got on him about it and lowered his review score.  Now that I have kids, I totally get it.  Not that non-parent managers won't get it, but having kids definitely changed my perspective.[/quote]

While I agree with this,  it is also unfair for those who don't have families.  So if OP can't get her work done because of child or pumping related activities, should the work she can't do be passed on to someone else?  What if they have community activities or a sick relative that they need their free time for?  Or what if someone has a sick family member and is late for work?  Should they be written up but someone with a sick child be given a free pass?   I'm a mom and I get the need for flexibility.  But I really don't think special accommodations should be given to people with children.  If your work requires you to get stuff done, you need to get it done.  If you can't cut it, perhaps it isn't the right job for you.  And I say this to dads and moms alike.  [/quote]
