All I can say is I am glad I am not her kid. I don’t think I would like spending my growing years at daycare with strangers because mommy wanted to pretend she has male organs.
ompman – I can’t believe you were serious with that comment. Come on up to date. Women can still do the job! Isn’t there a father out there with just as much concern for his kids? Who knows, you sure don’t, maybe the mother is the main breadwinner in the family.
As an older married person, never had children, I have seen that parents often get preferential treatment, but this is a reverse and is totally unfair.
Even if Compman is serious about his comment, honestly, no one shoud reply to it. It is obvious that he posted it simply to get a reaction. If anything, let’s all feel feel sorry for compman. This comment is just a reflection of something lacking with him. (Probably in his pants)
Since you admit you never had kids, you do not belong in this discussion. You don’t know a parents point of view on how their children should be raised. And I whole heartedly stand behind my previous post. If she didn’t have kids to raise, or they are out of the house, then more power to her to go out and become a CEO, but I feel it is best for kids to have their mother home with them when they are growing up. That is my opinion.
Sounds like this mother does have a lot on her plate, but she is working at the job and her attendance record is available for review so it is hardly reasonable that the promotion would be turned down unless there was evidence that the mother did have a records indicating”too much was on her plate”
Let’s just sue because she was offended?
Compman, we’re going to pull your opinion card and restrict your ability to speak, make a wage or allow you to leave the house. Otherwise who’ll do all of the work, tend the babies, cook, clean, mow the lawn for minimum pay while you take all of the credit with that big fat head of yours? Your hillarious! I wouldn’t have you counseling me or my family on insurance products. You probably still tell the mister to forget about buying a life insurance policy for the missus as she’s not important anyway!
OK, Compman, you certainly are entitled to your opinion. But what about us women who have to work to support our families? My question is, if I have to work full-time anyway, should I only be able to get a crappy low paying job? Why can’t I pursue something that will be professionally fulfilling for myself and more lucrative than 40 hours a week behind the counter at McDonald’s? By the way, it’s my husband that picks the kids up and checks their homework, starts dinner, etc. Are my kids suffering because I’m a “senior” level employee? Or is my daughter learning that a woman can and should pursue a position of responsibility if it will make them happy….which makes them a better mother and role model? Just food for thought.
The best role model a mother can provide for her children is to see her being a mother. This woman has triplets, so she is no doubt married, or shoulda kept her knickers on. Personal happiness is not what life’s all about claimsgal. The happiness and wellbeing of those for whom we are responsible is what life is all about.
Isn’t it to be expected that a woman with triplets is going to miss work? Yes. In fact, this company assumed the best of this woman, in that they assumed that when there was a conflict between family and work, family would (or should) win. With three infants, this is a no brainer.

I’ll get off my soap box now.
