[quote=Anonymous][quote]Now I can see the teacher probably thinks I'm some sort of bitch for looking surprised about missing work for a field trip. It's my first kid. So shoot me. I work in the medical field, which is 24/7, 365. I'm working Christmas this year. You can call me a bad parent or whatever you want. I am just used to work interfering with everything. I didn't know parents took off for reasons other than illness.[/quote] I understand that you didn't know and am not trying to attack you. But yes, this is what parents have to do and it only gets worse as kids get older. I understand it is tough, and I also have a demanding job, so I can't take off for every single field trip, but I take off for some of them when I can because it means a lot to my kids. You're going to have to find some middle ground on this issue. [/quote]
