[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - thanks everyone. To clarify, I’m the manager and the situation involves an employee who is skipping work offsite for birth of grandchild (who may or may not be born by the time the offsite is over). I realize, I’m probably being an A$$. But I wouldn’t take off work for my daughter in law. I’d do it for my own daughter. [/quote]

so, basically none of your business and you also have no way at all of actually knowing if there is anything risky about the pregnancy. your employee doesn't want to be trapped offsite when their grandchild is being born. entirely reasonable. [/quote]

This. I thought you’re the MIL, but given it’s someone else, you don’t know the full circumstances. May be the DIL is not on good terms with her own mother, or her mother is far away or cannot make it for whatever reason. The employee decided that she needs to stay behind for birth of her grandchild. It’s really not up to you to second guess her decision. Everyone’s priorities and circumstances are different.[/quote]
