[quote=Anonymous]You have a boss who immediately recognized her actions were wrong and hurtful and potentially jeapordizing a relationship with a valued employee.

She came to you the same day and apologized, recognized your skill and ability, gave you a couple of entirely valid reasons why she isn't quite herself, and made it very clear that she valued you and wanted to make things right.

No one is perfect, but in any relationship in life if someone tries that hard to acknowledge a wrong and make it right, how can you not respect that?

I would thank her for coming to me, make sure to touch base w/ her on things when emotions aren't running high (on either side), and give her the benefit of the doubt.  Postpartum stuff is real, and crazy, and the stresses of weaning an infant, while still trying to make sure your firstborn isn't suffering or feeling cast aside, and facing a return to work is a pretty major emotional set of stuff to work through.  It really is, and none of that has anything to do with you OP.

I was pretty stunned at how much I was set off kilter by those things when my kid was born.  It can be really really tough.  So maybe she just lost it with you for a hundred reasons that have nothing to do with you.  That doesn't make it right, but her total and immediate apology ought to count for a lot, IMO.[/quote]
