Right, I've been on Mumsnet for a year or so now and finally feel brave enough for AIBU
On Friday one of my work colleagues announced that she would be leaving the office at lunchtime and not returning for the afternoon as her daughter was at home ill. Now before you jump on me I have to point out that said daughter is NINETEEN YEARS OLD and has a full-time job! She was not at deaths door (she had a bad cold) and does not have any underlying health issues.
Our boss did not have a problem with her leaving as she is normally very good about making up time (she works part-time) and to be fair he is very flexible with all of us if we need to pop out for appointments, etc.
I guess my real issue is AIBU to think it is weird that a parent would take time off work to look after their adult child?
Thoughts?
