Work Rant: I make every attempt to be tolerant of the "kids" excuse at work, because I think workplaces cannot be a hinderance to having children....

...But I also don't like the daily ten-minute "check in" call when said parent has no intention of considering the call time her break. That pisses me off.

Back in the day, we called mom and dad at work maybe once a month, if that. And only if baby brother was on fire.
