***zipping up flame suit***
As you maybe know, I teach preschool at a dc center where we have ages 6wks-12 year olds present every day. One of my co workers had a baby six weeks early and this baby is now 5 weeks old. She was in the nicu for a few weeks but has been home since and doing great. The mom is 20, hs educated, bf is kinda a deadbeat, but she's a really sweet girl. She started working here about 3 weeks before she had her baby.
About a week after they brought baby home from nicu she brought her in to show her off to all of us and let us pass her around.
She's supposed to be starting back to work and bringing tiny baby with her on Monday but she started already today, saying she was bored. I know it's her life abd I would never say anything to her but seriously? ?? I would NEVER bring my preemie baby to a dc center at 5 weeks old knowing the amount of sickness that dc usually has. Just since last week we have had two cases of bronchitis, four ear infections, and a case of strep. That's really just the way it is at a center but why would you expose your teeny tiny baby to it if you didn't have to just because yor are "bored"?
Sorry it just bugs me! Go ahead and tell me to CTFD. I'm just annoyed and feeling bad for that little baby.

Re: I'm a Judgey McJudgerson
She may have come in today because she truly is bored, but if she's starting back tomorrow anyway, what's the difference?
Yes, this. I was itching to go back to work after 6 weeks on maternity leave. I had plenty of support, but was also struggling with PPA and felt like going back to work and getting back on a routine would help me CTFD.
You can voice your concern if you feel inclined. But I'm on the boat that she probably needs the money.
