Stephanie (one of the writers here) just shared this Babies on the job video and related issues this morning and I HAD to get it up here as soon as I could!

The video from CNN describes the growing trend of allowing mothers to bring their children to work with them as a way of keeping mothers in the workforce. What are your thoughts on this?

Take a look at the video and weigh in here! (and while you’re at it, ask CNN to let me embed their video!)

I have mixed feelings on this from an employment standpoint, but as a mother it’s a no-brainer. Hands down, I’d be more apt to stay in a position that allowed me to have my children nearby. How about you? As a boss, where would you stand?
