My new supervisor just asked about my son for the first time today, but she just got hired :) and I first asked about her grandchild. </p> <p>We don't have a ton of time to socialize at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997117 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:38:13 +0000 cmomma17 997117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: yep!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997084 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:30:21 +0000 prettylizy 997084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah but we're a baby crazy bunch. Of 11 staff, 6 people had kids in 2012! We're always swapping baby stories. back and forth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997069 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:27:52 +0000 Smurfette 997069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some every day, some never. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997057 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:26:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 997057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The coworkers/boss at my old job were like family to me, so they would ask often, since most of them have kids at similar ages. This company, not many have kids so no one really asks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997052 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:25:31 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 997052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: It's gonna change though ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-997047 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:24:07 +0000 cmomma17 997047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evansjamie: I really really really hope so too!!!

That's AMAZING!

I ask a lot about their love interests and dates! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996975 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 15:11:24 +0000 cmomma17 996975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, there has been some drama since I returned from mat leave. She gave me trouble about pumping and I had to get HR involved, then I took it all the way up to the Presidents office.</p> <p>But I guess it doesn't matter anymore, because she just resigned!!!!! :) :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996476 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 13:07:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 996476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Coworkers do, my boss asks how her appointments go when I leave early for them but that's it, and I think that's okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996450 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 13:01:00 +0000 Modern Daisy 996450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww, that's annoying! They could at least ask once a month or something..</p> <p>On the plus side, I'm 36 weeks pregnant and just got a Dr.'s note to start WFH and one of the biggest reasons I'm psyched about it is because of the CONSTANT comments/questions I get from coworkers! I know I'm about to have a baby, but can we talk about something other than my body?? lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996447 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 13:00:28 +0000 bunnylove08 996447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>everyday. The whole department had a 2 hour lunch with DD when she came to stay with me for the day. I work in a very family friendly place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996438 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:58:46 +0000 sotofamilia 996438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: that's really weird - did something happen that you can think of that would make them exclude you like that?</p> <p>My coworkers ask about LO on an almost daily basis - I've always figured that part of it is that it is easy small chat when we're in the kitchen, waiting for the elevator, etc...I guess it's nice that everybody remembers I just had a baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996437 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:57:43 +0000 Crisark 996437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say weekly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996426 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:54:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 996426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I see my pregnant co-worker once per week and I ask her every time how she is doing. That's odd that they NEVER ask! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996403 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:47:29 +0000 dolphin 996403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that is weird!!! yes, my coworkers and boss ask about my LO all the time. but i also work for a very small company...about five people in the office so we're all pretty close. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996354 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:30:43 +0000 MsLipGloss 996354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every once in a while. If they don't ask about your LO, I assume that they don't talk about their families much either? Just a thought . . . </p> <p>I try not to bring up my LO when I am at work . . . because I want them to know that I am *back* and I don't want to mommy track myself by always talking about my LO (even though I could do it all day every day!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996352 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:29:59 +0000 Adira 996352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, that's depressing! My boss and coworkers don't ask about Xander all that often, but they do sometimes - maybe once every other week or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996344 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:28:47 +0000 cmomma17 996344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They talk to each other about personal life - like what they did on the weekend, how is my co-workers wife, congratulating my co-worker on buying a house last week, etc.<br /> Nothing about me, my family, my LO, my stepkids who were with us for a month, etc.<br /> The work environment has been terrible since I came back from maternity leave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996341 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:28:35 +0000 MamaMoose 996341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That stinks! Do you normally talk about your personal lives? Maybe they just aren't kid people? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996332 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:26:26 +0000 avivoca 996332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They ask how she's doing, but she's still in-utero. I'm sure once I come back from mat leave they will ask still.</p> <p>I'm sorry that your boss/co-worker don't ask about your little guy. :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996327 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:24:18 +0000 travellingbee 996327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that is weird. Is that typical that they don't talk about personal lives at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996321 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:21:47 +0000 Sunshine1810 996321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have a LO, but I think that's weird. Whenever my co-workers or people who have worked for me came back from maternity leave, I always asked about their LO's. I am still asking about co-workers' LOs and they are walking and talking now. I'm sorry that your co-workers are being inconsiderate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996319 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:21:05 +0000 teamjse 996319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My boss and co workers all ask about LO. Maybe on a weekly basis. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-bossco-workers#post-996307 Wed, 07 Aug 2013 12:18:37 +0000 cmomma17 996307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>... ask about your LO? How often?</p> <p>I've been back from maternity leave for 7 weeks now and my boss has not asked about my baby one single time. Ever. Neither has my one direct co-worker. </p> <p>They don't have to care, and we don't have to talk about my baby all day. But it would be good for morale if they asked once in a while. </p>
