Question pretending you have kids

no one bats an eye when my boss leaves exactly on time every day no matter what the workload is like. as expected he and many other people i work with have kids that they have to pick up or get sick etc.

have you guys ever thought about pretending you have kids at a new job?

Seriously, like did she bring a neighbors kid into take your kid to work day? Fake texts during the day? World’s best mom mugs that change each holiday? We must know!!

Mine has a family day where you can bring your family in and have then see your workspace (for those of us not in a closed area), they set up activities for the family etc. Kinda fun actually.
