Take your child to work day -- do you participate?

I used to work with a boy who needed a private nurse and personal care attendent on a daily basis. I was his private nurse. I worked a fulltime schedule from 7A to 2:45 P and occasionally worked a saturday if the family needed me to. On those days I would take one of my daughters with me. One time I took my daughter to work with me and we had a fun day at the museum of science. Not only did my daughter have a good time but my client had a great time too and they enjoyed each others company:)

My children are small, and no I have not participated in this. I work 11-7 on weekends, in a nursing home, that is full of germs. I would never take my children in there. My husband works in a prison, and taking your children to work there isnt exactly appropraite either. I did used to take my son to the hospital when I worked there, but he never went into patients rooms, or clinically dirty areas.

When I was younger, it wasn't hard for me to participate in that, since my mother ran a nursery school out of our basment, so she culd take me to work, and I'd still be at home.;-) On days off of school I used to go there anyway.

My children are still too small for this special day. I remember going with my dad all the time from the time I was 7 until I was 13! He worked at Compaq at the time and it was so much fun but boring at the same time. 7am-5pm is a long day . I wish I was still young at times to still enjoy this day. I cant wait until my children get older so that they can come to work with mommy.

Yes, my daughter has come to work with me the last 4 years-- she is 11. She loves to come to work with me. She loves my co-workers:) She works along with me on fun projects-- this year we did pricing tests for Inventory- made up spreadsheets for the audit and helped out other people as well. She loves to go to lunch with us- We always go to a place called the "charcoal Corral".... it's a great place (actually the drive-in) we eat outside and then get ice cream. That isn't what my normal day is for lunch-- but it's fun when she is here!
I always miss her the next day (it's always on the 3rd Thursday of April- and I miss her on Friday).
The age is 8-15 I think so she still has more years ahead of her!
