lynn Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My kids have the best time at dh work. They have breakfast and lunch catered and have all sorts of fun science and math labs and experiments for the kids to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb_ Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Nah, not his thing. There is a definite separation between work and home for him and most of the time this works in my favor, so I'm not fighting it. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K&Rs Mom Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My dh started working from home last month. Maybe I can park them in his office if I also supply donuts? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5kidsforME Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My kids have the best time at dh work. They have breakfast and lunch catered and have all sorts of fun science and math labs and experiments for the kids to do. That is really cool that his company does that! Dh will not be taking the kiddos tomorrow, he has a lot to do that the kids would hinder him from getting it all done. He does take the kids here and there when he can.

WTMCassandra Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes, I am sending mine! They are excited, but I'm not sure they'll find it really exciting to sit in meetings most of the day ; ). I, on the other hand, am unbelievably excited to be at home BY MYSELF for an ENTIRE DAY! Yes, I AM shouting! I am having trouble deciding what I'm going to do with all of that delicious time!

I guess they want it all to look like fun to recruit some engineers since there is a shortage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui in mo Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My dh's works for a large company & they actually provide activities & tours for the kids rather than staying with dad all day. They get to have lunch with him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Peregrine Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wish. I think it would be cool, but it is not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeOnTheRanch Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wish. We've asked in the past and the office manager said it would be some sort of violation (hospital clinic). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My 6yo is going, but only for half a day -- I think a full day in cubicle world might be a bit much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandpsmommy Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Our dc are too small to go stay with dh at work all day, but he has invited them to come meet him for lunch. He works an hour away, in the city, so this will be a treat for us. :001_smile: We'll probably make a field trip day out of it and visit a museum afterwards. He has worked in this job for two years, but we have never had a chance to see his office or meet anyone because we live so far away. He was going to take them up to his office for a few minutes to show them where he works and introduce them to his coworkers, but, as is typical, he has a meeting right up to lunchtime and a meeting immediately following lunch. He's actually lucky that he will get an hour for lunch tomorrow. He is supposed to get an hour everyday for lunch, but he is much in demand and often ends up being scheduled for meetings right through lunch or having only a few minutes to grab something in between meetings. :glare: At his previous job, before we moved, we only lived a few minutes away from his office, and he was the bureau chief in charge of the 70 people who worked there. We occasionally met him for lunch and he would often take the kids in after lunch for a few minutes to see his office and let his co-workers ooh and aah over how cute they were and how much they had grown. He allowed all workers to bring in their children for Take Your Child to Work Day, and there was a committee of workers who volunteered to organize activities for the kids. My kids were really small (18 months and almost 4), so we only went for the lunch hour. They ordered pizza for the whole office and the kids got to eat with their parents. They even had karaoke after lunch. It was a lot of fun for dd. The whole day was rather chaotic for dh, though, who was trying to conduct business while lots of kids of various ages roamed about the building.

JenneinCA Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My guys were supposed to go. Kaz's company had all sorts of cool stuff planned. And they were willing to have all three kids go, including the three year old. Unfortunately that plan went out the window Monday afternoon. Maybe next year.

elegantlion Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I'd like to. I'm not sure if dh would want him on his current job, he's in construction. He's painting a house this week and it's hot. I just talked to dh and he sounds exhausted. I have sent him to help him when he worked on a relative's house. They were gone for three blissful days of silence. I remember going to work with my dad a couple of times. He was a broadcast engineer for a TV station. It was so fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My kids can't go with my dh to work as it would be a national security risk. Not to mention the ship is somewhere in the middle of the ocean so there's really no way to get them there. By the time he's done with his service they'll not really care to go to work with Dad anymore as they'll mostly be grown up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cin Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I would, except that it would be a logistical nightmare. We have Bible Study in the morning and then gymnastics. Somehow, in 60 minutes, I would have to drive 40 minutes 1 way to get dds home for gymnastics. Maybe Next Year, when he could possibly take the little one, too. They are still rather young to grasp the whole thing. Right now, his office is cool and his co-workers have candy and cars to play with. Yup, that's what it's all about. Oh, and the food and drink (coffee) that comes out of a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renee in NC Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 We own our own business, so our dc go to work with Daddy (and Momma) EVERY day! Maybe we should do a leave your kids at home day! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinMominTX Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 My dh owns his own company and frequently takes the girls to work with him. He also takes the dog on most days as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
