[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's condescending AF to tell someone you aren't that close with, [b]who is as much a co-worker as anything else[/b], that they have "baby brain". It's not some cutesy American thing women all say to each other. Especially from someone who doesn't even have kids. A friend might say it to another friend, who are both mothers, when one can't decide what to eat for dinner or some other trivial thing. Otherwise, it's rude and inappropriate.[/quote]

It is reasonable to assume that your relationship with your soon-to-be SIL is on a different level than a coworker.  Yet, even with co-workers, it wouldn't be unreasonable, condescending or rude to excuse a lapse by attributing it to baby-brain.  Presumabley, there is some friendliness and goodwill between coworkers. What the incident highlighted is how very wrong that assumption was for the family Meghan was joining. [/quote]

They weren't friends, that was well established earlier. Go on and try saying that BS to someone at work, see what happens. You're aren't going to get high five when you say that to your boss.[/quote]

DP. Maybe not friends but damn, they were more than co-workers. Unless of course you think they weren’t family and they are all just working a job together. Do you consider your in-laws your co-worker. Their children are cousins. [/quote]

My siblings children and my children are cousins. What’s that supposed to mean? They’re not even as close as co-workers. Relationships shouldn’t be pushed on each other.[/quote]

Not the right comparison. Are you close to your SIL?[/quote]

No. We’re very different from each other. In the beginning our conversations were mostly awkward and distant. Now, years later, we’re a bit closer but I know more about my colleagues. Thank God she wasn’t the pushy type or blamed me for being different, especially in the beginning[/quote]
