...."you should be at home with your children, what are you doing here having meetings. When my wife had our child she wanted to go back to work and i said to her, no you are not, you are going to look after our child yourself. And now, 28 years on, she tells me how grateful she is that i forced her to stay at home. You will regret all this time you are spending away from them"
I was in Edinburgh Monday doing 7 back to back meetings for a day. This was the answer i got after taxi driver said - long day? and i said yes, looking forward to flying back to london to see my kids (i flew the night before at 10pm so i was with the kids all sunday)
I am normally pretty thick skinned FT working mum about any remarks made about the quality (or lack of )of my parenting by sole fact i am working FT. but it did take all my self discipline not to tell him to f*cking mind his own business.
