Working Mama vent

So, my team is part of a reorganization meaning we are part of a new larger team with a new VP based in our main office in CA.  She is in town this week for meetings and scheduled a mandatory all-team meeting Friday AM at 8:30.  I worked it out with DH that he'll do the Jane drop and go in late so I can go in early.  Fine. Done.  I had a week's notice and I made it work.

Tonight, as in 30 mins ago (as in well after the work day) I get an email that we have a "Team Breakfast" tomorrow at 8AM.  Just my small team and the new VP to get to meet her and talk.  There is literally no way I can make it.  My commute is an hour and I can't drop Jane until 7:30....you do the math.  DH can't do it tomorrow.  So I get to be "that Mom" and decline the meeting.

Worst thing?  My new VP is also a Mom.....but she's traveling for work and probably has a live-in help besides.  BLAH!  I hate things scheduled before or after the normal work day.  It's not fair.

  • Yep every other weds we have to be there at 7, lots of scrambling to make it. And I've got way less a commute than you do.

  • Definitely sucks, Megan! I often have things randomly pop up, and its such a struggle to make it work. Ehh, so be it if you are that Mom tomorrow. It was late notice so hopefully they understand!
  • Ugh, that does suck. I hope you got in a little jab when you let them know you couldn't make it... like "because it was such short notice and after the work day, we are unable to change our daycare arrangements. wish i could make it."
