[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nanny here.  Have nanny and DD come meet you for lunch at work once a month.  This has helped a lot of my charges because they can visualize where their parent is during the day.[/quote]

Please, please do note tote your children to the office once a month.  One visit to the office one time might be ok so the child has an opportunity to visualize where the parent works, but no one wants to see your kids in the office once a month.  But once a month is ridiculous, distracting for your co-workers, and completely unprofessional.  [/quote]

Depends on the office. In mine, they would be welcomed. [/quote]

Um no. People are being polite.  [/quote]

Don't speak for other people or make broad judgments juts because you're a misanthrope. Perhaps you're being polite but I genuinely like when colleagues bring their babies and kids. I keep stickers in a drawer for them. [/quote]

Ok well I dislike it and it is disruptive.  And I am the type of person who has a lot of sympathy for kids on planes, restaurants, public spaces in general.  I believe kids should be in public space.  They are humans and people.  But they do not belong in an adult working environment regularly.  It is disruptive and annoying.  [/quote]

Well, not everyone is like you. I LOVE it when colleagues bring kids in the office. [/quote]

Right - and everyone is not like you either.  So, just because some people delight in having kids at the office, others don't.  And since it is de facto a professional space, you shouldn't bring your kids there because some people don't like it.  Why is it hard for you to understand that just because you enjoy something, it might not be appropriate?[/quote]

In my office, it is fine. In yours it may not be. As long as the policy is clear and evenly enforced, it is fine. If your office doesn’t have a policy on it, it should create one.[/quote]

Don’t be the a$$hole that forces HR to create a policy about kids in the office.

Really, if they bother one person, that’s one person too many.
