Why do women on maternity leave feel the need to return to the office with their children? More specifically, why do the baby-fests, complete with “Oohs” and “Ahhs” have to take place directly beside my cubicle? Last summer here at the publishing company there were literally about eight pregnant women waddling around the office. This year, these same women have returned with their kids, much to my chagrin. Saying it might make me a bitch, but ladies, leave your brats at home!
(Edited June 5, 2007 to add: That was a little harsh. I’ve since become friends with one of these women.)
