Babies in the office....

I'm with the OP on this.
If I brought my new car into the office to show the lads and started chatting about it and revving the engine I'd get a b
king but somehow a squawking child is acceptable.
They should take them to somehere outside the office where those who want to see the joint of meat can view it in their own time. It would sort out those who are genuinely interested in the st machine and those who just wanted a skive for 5 (read as 50) minutes.
Well put. Couldn't agree more.If I brought my new car into the office to show the lads and started chatting about it and revving the engine I'd get a b

I was given looks that would kill and asked if "I liked children or was just a grumpy sod". 
Seems a fair question reading the OP.I like children that I can hand back when they are board of me ,or I of them, and am not noted for being a grumpy sod (although I have my moments). That said the workplace is not for children. Clue's in the name (exceptions may be made if you work in a nursery, etc.) .
Every child, grand child, niece and nephew of every member of staff seems to have been paraded through our office at some point. I don't mind so long as it does not impact on work but then they don't do it in my office when I am trying to take and make calls or put some vital post on PH
I'm with ballbag on this, babies do not belong in the office, coochicoo or not, if you have a sprog and want to show your ex work colleagues, do it in your own time and somewhere other than the office.
I've had 3 former secretaries have a baby and then come back into the office to show them off, you can write off all the other females in the office for the next 15 minutes as they all stand around cooing and picking nits off the thing's head.
Horrible business.

It's bks & should be banned. babies are all the same, they just vary a bit in size & colour.
I'd understand if it was puppies, they are cute & fun etc.
As a homosexual (apols if it's not the case!), just because you won't ever have babies, it doesn't mean you should resent them. ks & should be banned. babies are all the same, they just vary a bit in size & colour. I'd understand if it was puppies, they are cute & fun etc.
Anyway, threads like this always bring out the slightly aspergic, forever single types who hate people and are confused by babies. For normal people, it's quite funny to watch as it's such a normal human reaction to by pleased to hear of a new arrival and to want to see it.

They also bring out the new parents pretty clearly too. Anyway, threads like this always bring out the slightly aspergic, forever single types who hate people and are confused by babies.
