[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't talk about childcare at the workplace. There are too many different people with different arrangements--guys with SAHM wives, dual income households with working women who married rich men so they have live in nannies, people who do regular daycare, etc. Someone is always going to get their feathers ruffled.

This. People have very different resources. Unless someone is asking specifically for recommendations or advice (like recs for a daycare near the office, or finding out what nanny service people have used) then share what you know. But sitting around comparing situations is going to bug some people.

I get privately annoyed whenever someone goes on and on about how their mom or MIL takes care of their baby because that's not an option for me. I don't judge them, I just don't want to hear about it. It's like bragging about being tall -- good for you but there is nothing I can do about not being tall so I kindly request you shut the **** up about it.[/quote]

Yep, agree. It’s all a very sensitive, personal thing for many people and not something you talk about at work. Even if everyone is socioeconomically similar, there’s massive variations. [/quote]
