Why?  BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT.  If this thing was set after hours IN THE FIRST PLACE, I wouldn't be posting about this mess!



It was hydra's idea to have these things at lunch, because she reasoned, there would always be phone coverage.  Well, the women decided that leaving people out wasn't fair, and they're going back to having these things after work.  (The mother-to-be said OM's reasoning was b.s.)  But my point is, why didn't OM tell me that this was in my job description BEFORE I took this job?  Why the secrecy?  I could have handled it better if I knew what I was getting into.



I picked this job because it was 5 minutes away from my MIL, who watches the baby for me.  I wanted to leave the baby with someone who loves him, not in a daycare center.  Personally, I'm opposed to daycare centers.  I understand that a lot of people are in situations where there is no option but daycare.  I feel bad for those people-NOT those who can well afford to stay home but choose to dump their kids in daycare.  A child's well-being is more important to me than a fancy home or a new SUV.



The big problem with this job is it never was and still isn't very clearly defined, and one of the results was this mess.  I think I'll take the money and see how things play out over the next 6 months (and if I post more problems!), to see if I really want to stay here until I have my second baby.
