[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me sad for OPs kid. You know her coworker's think she is a shitty mom.[/quote]

Why don't you volunteer to pay her bills and debt since you think she's such a bad mother.  Stop talking with your hands and open your wallet instead. If you think it's okay to kick someone when they're in a tough situation I can gurantee you're a far, far shittier mom than OP and probably just a shitty person in general. [/quote]

It's true, people should be aware of that. I work in a male dominated field and when I had a baby and was working part time random male coworkers (we worked with many different offices so you'd see different people at different times) would say things to me like 'where's your baby'. I would say 'with my husband/his father' and get blank looks of disapproval.
My husband got none of these questions at work.
You should be aware so that you don't wig out at work. 
I would have liked to have known so that I could have not engaged with these men when they asked about my baby since they were just leading up to being nasty. I would have just said 'fine' and changed the topic of conversation instead.[/quote]

You don't know what her co-workers think and are just making assumptions. I'm a working mom and never had any problem with the men at my job.  Lots of men with kids have wives that work.  It's not a foreign concept and it's not the 50s. [/quote]

Hahah so true.  If my coworkers think I'm a bad mom for working, then they must think poorly of their wives!  My male coworkers' spouses are doctors, attorneys, etc. and from what I can tell, they are pretty happy with having dual income.[/quote]
