Who can you commiserate with when no one else at work is a parent?
Earlier this month, shortly after settling into my work day, my phone buzzed with a message from my husband. Apparentlyhad not gone well that morning. Our three-year-old daughter was distressed, saying she had a tummy ache and wanted her teachers to go away. This was week one at her new preschool and one month into my new job. The rest of that day, I was distracted, anxious about her but also worried about what would happen if I ducked out a bit early that day to pick her up.
Being the only parent on my team means the work environment isn’t exactly family-friendly—in fact, being family-friendly isn’t even a consideration. I’ve been told by my boss and new colleagues there isn’t a lot of flexibility in terms of hours of work or working remotely, and there’s no precedent for it either. So, even if I work myself up to ask for these accommodations, I’d be the only one doing so.
