[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dropping the collective "our" and making it "your" daughter/kids didn't help. It wasnt really intended to show kids what their parents do all day, but to expose girls to different professions, ideally those with a lack of female representation. People didn't seem to get that and it just became about dragging your own kids into the office, something they may or may not have any interest in.[/quote]

Because the kids are way too young to be interested. I think the purpose ideally was to show your on-the-verge-of-adulthood child that "Hey, your just think of me as your parent but I actually have another role in life, and you're going to have one as well. Here's what I do all day to keep you fed and here's what the others at my company do. What do you think?" 
it's NOT supposed to be about "Here's my adorable 6 year old who I've mentioned, everyone. Amuse them!"
And with regard to underrepresented women, let's face it, in this day and age most parents aren't worried about their daughters' success. It's the sons who need guidance.[/quote]
