Children at work?

[Robertnpmk]

So you're talking about women on maternity leaving coming in to the work place to show people the baby?

Most of the time, yes. But this one is 1-2 years old and she has been back at work for over a year.

probably why its annoying me more. She is meant to be working.

Love thos, grumpy gits who cant ignore a baby or a child.

Dont like it get your head down and work instead of concentrating on everyone else, and don't give the bull story of "it's distracting".

Get your head down and work? We're on here to moan instead

Where do you work? I've never been in a work place that allows parents to being their children in to work while they are meant to be working...

Is this a temporary thing or ongoing?

Edit: Still doing more work than she is.

Thank god I work in an office with 2 blokes. My wife complains about women bringing their kids in, she avoids them like the plague!

I'm not sure how that makes them idiots, just people who don't like kids.

There's a time and a place for babies, the workplace is neither.

If you work in a place that's it's considered bad "form" to be happy and enjoy work mates joy (be it children, achievements whatever) then consider yourself the problem.
Not them.

Moaning about someone not working whilst posting on internet forums *facepalm*

This happens at my work and just because I didn't coo over a baby that someone brought in at xmas, she said to a someone

"what's up with Pete, doesn't he like me or something?"

I just don't care about babies and don't want one shoved in my face unless it's medium rare in a bun.

I'm reading your posts in the voice of Christian Bale in 'American Psycho'.

I took my daughter into work, it's not just women that start cooing and crowding!

Sounds like a fun place where you work

I can understand that somewhat, a kid around 5+ can be endearing and cute but for me babies are just dwarf old people with slightly less soiling themselves.

LOL, how apt.

I don't call having too watch a group of people lying about the attractiveness of someone else's baby a joyous event.

They all look the same in the first 6 months and they are not "cute", they are wrinkly pink things which spend all day crying or p***ing/sh**ing themselves.

Babies aren't special or magical, yours maybe to YOU the parent but to everyone else it's just another mouth for society to feed.
