1. Bringing children to work is SO unprofessional.
Edited on Mon Jan-31-05 08:14 PM by tjdee
Unless you're picking up, or dropping off something. Or, if it's "Take your kid to work" day or whatever.

I'm a single parent, and I'd take the loss of paid hours and just stay home, rather than have my kid there for an hour or two.

I find it hard to believe that any boss thinks that having children around is just wonderful!

2. I wasn't ranting against parents
this was an actual clown at a kid's show, so the venue was appropriate, but he did get upstaged.

(I do get what you mean though.)

3. D'oh! An actual clown!!
For sure then. Kids do steal the show just because they are so unscripted and cute and impish.

Duh, I totally misunderstood the point of your post!
:crazy:
