[quote=Anonymous]You sound like a terrible person to work for, OP. Family is more important than work. Period. A new grandchild being born is more important than an offsite work event. It doesn't matter if it's the daughter giving birth or the DIL because it's about being there to support the parents of your grandchild and to welcome the grandchild to the world. The fact you included the detail about it being the DIL and not the daughter shows that you are viewing the situation in the wrong way and assuming you know your employee's family dynamics when you clearly don't. I'm closer to my MIL than I am to my own mom and my MIL has always considered me like the daughter she never had and treated me as such. My in laws were there when my kids were born. It was important to them to be there for us and it was important to us that they were there. If they had to miss the birth to go to a work event, I would have understood of course but I'm very glad they were able to be at the hospital when my kids were born. It is a special time.[/quote]
