My company is very family friendly. I've been out a lot after my maternity leave and they haven't said a word. I actually said something to the owner the other day and he just brushed me off and said, "You have a family now, you have to do what is best for you first, then the company." I love that!
Does your company understand family time is important? Do they understand when you're sick or out "sick" because your lo is sick?

Awesome! My old job was really family oriented! Girls left early, took days off, brought their kids in all the time!

They were pretty good. I had to take a week off after only being there for a month because DD was sick and they didn't say anything. But then I changed to WAH so I don't really have to bother them anymore. If DD gets sick, I do what I can during the day and then work all night to catch up.

Yeah, but I know that some coworkers who aren't parents don't get it.

My boss is awesome, I'm still on maternity leave but I get together with my boss every 4-6 weeks just to keep in touch and because she LOVES Prettybaby and seeing her. I know when I go back she'll be super understanding.

It seems like they will be. Hubs overheard one of my managers telling another one that if she wants time off, take it while I'm here pre-maternity leave, because she knows my schedule won't be flexible afterwards. They've given Hubs full leeway with his schedule. As long as he is there for 1 meeting every Wednesday, he can work any hours in office that he wants.

My bosses understand. I had a vacation day on Monday and then DS ended up getting a fever last night so I had to take today and tomorrow off. I do have my work computer so if something urgent comes up I can take care of it but for the most part they haven't asked me to.
