[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's bizarre to point out that you're taking too much time off for appts, but I don't have the type of job where taking an hour or two off or taking the morning/afternoon off has no impact on my work/my coworkers.  So someone who takes a lot of time off is definitely disruptive to the work flow (but thankfully we don't work 5 days a week so have the flexibility to get stuff done other days).   [/quote]

It doesn't have an impact in my position wither. She was complaining because I had not replied to a non-urgent email. I was in a dr appointment that required me to communicate with the dr and staff and which took 1.5 hours (plus going back and forth). The email wasn't urgent or important. She just wanted to prove a point, I guess.[/quote]

As a boss and as a mom, yes, it's possible to take too much time.  I would have a chat with you but it would be about work load and deliverables.  I had an employee who was the primary parent for her children because her husband worked in professional sports and was gone most of the time.  She took 3 small children to appointments but delivered all her work because she would work at night to compensate.  She was awesome.  If your boss is making comments that make you uncomfortable initiate a conversation about deliverables and make her comfortable.[/quote]
