Don't get me wrong I have a lot of respect for working mothers/fathers but recently in work have been feeling discriminated against.
There are 6 people in my department, 3 mothers, 1 father (John) and myself and another(Sue) without a child. Three of us at work take it in turns to work till 6 (the 3 mothers can't as they have children to pick up from nursery).
Last Thursday I asked to leave at 5.30pm as I had an appointment, Sue was rota'd to work till 6 but phoned in sick and John couldn't because he had to look after his children. Our manager told us that one of us would have to stay till 6pm and all the parents said that it would have to be me.
I understand that they all had children to pick up but then one of them turns round and says hubby is picking daughter up and she's going shopping!
AIBU to feel that because I'm childless I should be made to feel worthless.
