I have refused to go on a course on DS's birthday

[MamaGrr]

Work want me to go on a course in London on DS's 3rd birthday - 9.00am until 5.30pm and I live in Cumbria!

I have refused to go.

I don't actually think I'm being unreasonable, although my boss did a face but I really wnated to post a thread in this subject

I’d refuse too if it meant I wouldn’t see my DC at all that day, even now they are 16 and 20. It sounds like a non important course that can be done another time so definitely right to say no. Kids grow up fast, as a working mum i’d draw the line too with this. If that impacts on my career, so be it, some things are important and this is one of those things.

ZOMBIE THREAD! The OP’s child must be almost 18 by now! 😂

This thread is 17 years old 😂😂😂 I wonder if the OP is still around?? And whether the child remembers their 3rd birthday 😂

Omg. (Name change)
this was a post in 2007
I can't even remember writing this

Omg I was still a child when this thread was created hahaha
