I totally agree with you! No ONe has the right to assume anything in this life, sure I thought when I started trying for a child it would happen over night, it didnt it was a long hard road for us...
BUT liaconn? What are you talking about? Going through what?
I dont like listening to football, but I do listen to the men in work most of the day talking about games coming up etc. I show a LOT of interest in it, because do you know why?
But it's a personal trait in an employee, it's not defined by whether or not you are a 'working mother'.
That’s a bit sexist. What about working fathers? They have to get the balance right as well.
Bondgirl - I think rollercoaster & weddingsonline are the more suitable forums for the 'my fab DP' & DS stuff.
What's a fab DP & DS??
I could be way off but I think the P is for Partner and the S for Son....so I've drawn my own conclusions on the D being for Darling???? Or some such...
Such is the lingo....Ive way too much time on my hands..
YEs you are right..................
Ah come on give a girl a break can I not call my partner fab or shorten words LOL!
Okey dokey, I am off now from work so everyone have a fun weekend its been nice and no doubt I will be back on Monday to chat !
Liaconn... Maybe I shouldnt of said on this forum that my life is now complete with my child, maybe its because I am having a good day thinking about him when I had so many ****ty ones... But if I cant say it on here, when we are talking about work -life balance aboutkids? where can I say it? This topic was not about Fertility problems or those cant have or trying for kids... It was brought up my me, when I was saying that in work I find it hard to balance everything and sometimes I get evil looks for other managers etc when I have to run to collect my child... and a lot of posters pointed out I shouldnt feel guilty ,if its what I do. I also meant by taking annual leave to mind Ds, it that I am NOT RIPPing the company off. NOT at a slap in the face of someone who hasnt kids or cant have them....
Also I NEVER say anything like that to my friends in work... I actually am one of those who never mention my kids much except to those on my team. Those on y team are VERY young men, who are all single and I am sure I bore them to tears about my DS, while they bore me totears about their football stuff but I listen and they do too!!!!!
As someone who generally feels misanthropists aren't extreme enough, I do have to say that really it doesn't bother me. I mean sure I have no interest whatsoever in looking at another picture they've taken on their mobile phone or graphic descriptions of nappy contents, but c'mon they've just a had a kid...a bit of leeway on the old being slightly proud/anamoured.
Heck, I still go on about Liverpool winning the champions league in 2005, my only contribution to that was getting very drunk and texting every single Man United Fan/Evertonian I had ever come across.
While it can be an annoyance and yes occasionally insensitive, I don't think it's that bad. How are they to know an individual can't have kids or doesn't want kids? Are we seriously suggesting we should curb talking about a child for fear of offending someone? Is that how far we've come?
So you're on AAM during working hours as well as nipping off home all the time to mind the child?
well i'm taking my GS off home to see my fab OH and kiss my DD's as well as my DC's before heading out to dinner with the IL's!
Are we talking about gorgeous self, other half, darling cats & dogs and in-laws?
