So, I'm going back to work in 2 weeks (on the 21st). The plan was:
M- Reid come to work with me
T- KinderCare
W- DH watches him
T- DH watches him
F- Mom watches him
I stopped by work yesterday to drop something off, and today my boss emailed me to confirm when I am coming back and what the plan was with Reid. *sigh* I've told him a MILLION TIMES what the plan was with Reid. I wrote him back and explained again and very clearly stated that if Reid got to be too distracting, that he would go to KinderCare on Mondays as well. I've always been very clear about that and realized that this would probably end up happening (since he never likes to be put down, lol). My boss wrote back that "It's fine for Reid to come in on Mondays, but after 3 weeks, he needs to go to daycare" WHAT?!?! I'm TWO WEEKS from coming back and you JUST NOW TELL ME THIS?! HE is the one who suggested that I could bring him in with me and I CLARIFIED A MILLION TIMES that it was still okay. I'm not even kidding, I confirmed with him like a half dozen times before I had Reid.
I'm just pissed off. Really pissed off. Like I said, this would be a non-issue if he hadn't told me that it would be okay so many times, or previously mentioned a time table. Again, it probably would have happened anyway, but I wanted it to be on my terms and I'm angry that he would just now mention this. That's another $76/week that we have to budget for.

Ugh, that's horrible! Like you said it wouldn't be so bad if he had just told you beforehand that he was only comfy with Reid coming for 3 weeks.

Ugh! What a douche! Way to throw off the game plan! I would seriously just pretend like you never heard that. You confirmed with him about a billion times that you could have Reid there on Mondays... so come week 4, just bring him... let your boss be the douche that says he has to go... AGAIN. I'm sorry Bre... that's really frustrating!

I think you should stick to your plans, it was agreed prior to birth, so he can't just change things on you now. Try it for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.

No offense but your boss is a jerk. I remember him pestering you when you were on leave BEFORE Reid came.

Your boss is a jerk!! I think that going forward, you need to let him know that he needs to be extremely clear with you when you make a decision (not saying one thing and then changing his mind) and if possible, get it in writing!!

I'm sorry! It sounds like your boss has issues! I hope you can figure things out soon. Or maybe he'll fall in love w/ reid after the first day and not mention it again

You have every right to feel that way! Have you thought about asking why he has put a time frame on it, now? Or, is your boss anti-confrontational?

I think I might email him and say something snotty like, "It would have been nice if you had let me know a bit sooner that you were going to put a time frame on how long Reid could come to work with me" GRRR

Oh Bre, that sucks big time! You wouldn't happen to have copies of emails or memos where this was confirmed, would you? That is just so unfair!
Edited for spelling

That Is lame, I would be mad too. Maybe he knows the Original plan but he wants to change It so he's testing you to see If you'll give In. I'd say something to him. Along the lines of " we had this discussion a million times and not once did you say there was a time limit on my son coming to work with me"...Im sorry Bre, I hope this gets worked out for you and lilttle man
