[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny that when people think OP is the MIL they are like "OMG ask the DIL if she even wants you there I would never want my MIL at the birth" but as she's the manager and the employee is the MIL the answers are "OMG it's her grandchild, of course she should be there, you ATA."[/quote]

Because yes [b]the DIL's opinion matters here[/b], but it's also not relevant to OP's situation.  OP does not get to call the DIL and ask her if she needs her MIL there, or if MIL can come to work instead.

Life happens, work can wait.  OP is the jerk.[/quote]

See the DIL's opinion on whether her MIL takes off of work does not in fact matter.  Yes, it matters whether the MIL gets to be in the delivery room.  But the question was whether a person should or should not take leave from work because an important event is happening in her family.  DIL doesn't get any more of a say than manager OP.

The OP implied this was some sort of travel event, by comparing it to a "trip."  So it could have nothing at all to be with being in the delivery room and a lot to do with being local and available in the event something happened or either of them needed her support, if other grandchildren might need care, if the grandmother herself just thought it was a momentous occasion that regardless of where she was, she didn't want to be at a work event when news broke o that she could celebrate it.[/quote]
