Babies In The Office: Parents Bring Their Babies to Work | Baby Documentary | Reel Truth

[@ALiz86]

I'm an American woman, 32 years old and I have never heard of allowing children in to work. I've heard of child care on site as the employer of the parent, IN the same building and company the parents work in. Parents can have lunch or snacks with their kids, Mom's can breast feed their babies. Settle their kids for nap time. Play out on the playground, watch what the kids are doing with CCTV cameras in the day care. Parent and kids see another, have bonding time, and real work gets done and without a screaming toddler having a temper tantrum in the background. Interesting idea though.

@@luna-xl1xx depending on somebody’s opinion, I mean some people can handle having their child around while I’m working because there are some people that has my mom did with me and the other our jobs out that that has allowed people parents to take the kids to work with them but also this might be also a new program I believe but yeah that I’m in when I was a kid and my mom‘s job allowed her to take me because she didn’t trust babysitters and they really didn’t have a daycare there believe me so they worked it out so she was able to take me and she was able to get her work done when I get my mom said I wasn’t a type to sit there and cry and scream and throw tantrums all the time either maybe that’s why every kid is different to

Why not just hire 2 babysitters for all the babies in the office and put them in a separate space?

[@Lander123Gal]

yeah one of the guy suggested it, he said to arrange a nursery somewhere in the building. makes much more sense.

[@paryssja641]

Because hats just too easy

[@caramelcupcake1275]

Cause it costs money

[@suritahwignall2359]

why not just provide a childcare in the company? child care on site, this just seems chaotic!!!!

[@taitumconnelly3497]

This is a good idea when the baby is under a year. Once the kids are over a year they are mobile and want/ need to play & have stimulation. In a work facility the kids over 1 can't get enough stimulation or quite time for naps/ rest. But, I do think it's well good for babies. They can be with their parent, have breastmilk, and don't really need to be entertained.

[@melvie5411]

Build a nursery down stairs

[@lolazal1]

Allow more mothers to work from home if possible.

[@tammiepage6489]

But reality check some mothers don’t wanna work from home if you really watch his documentary, there was a mother that didn’t say that that you know she wanted to be mobile but she had some time she want to be with her baby. Some parents are OK with something like this I don’t me personally, I would too You know I’d rather be there than stuck in my home and be able to bring my child work with me some people can handle it and if you can handle it I don’t see the problem. I hate that when people criticize because my thing is this is a parent can handle it then what’s the problem is they can take care of the child, and get their work done. Nothing wrong with it and the whole working from home thing same scenario they can work from home and they can actually bring the child in and a lot of jobs. Do allow parents to work from home. Mothers work from home actually old is Lisa I live they do depends on how long though they do for us certain situation in depends on the job too but not a LL parents have kind of jobs that you can work from home.

[@sineadcampbell5147]

How can anyone be fully focused on the job at hand when their baby/tot is at their feet? If I was working next to one of these ladies and getting paid the same I'd be pretty pissed off. It doesn't seem fair to the others or the kids, plus they might get hurt if they get into the wrong things. I love babies, and they are all very cute, but not at work.

Sinead, the reason many women go to work start with is to get away from the baby! It's true!

[@madrobin]

this is definitely NOT how it's done in the US. we don't have the kids at our desks, the company provides caretakers and a designated child care space in the building or on the campus...NOT at the desk next to you, haha!!

[@tammiepage6489]

Depends where you live in the US. Actually, there are some jobs is rare though it’s very very rare and some jobs are OK will do that cause I know some people they have certain jobs they don’t have childcare but they have allowed them when there’s a certain age they have allowed them and take them to work or possibly work at home but I think when they did this in the UK, I think was more trial run to see how it works

[@kaseythompson4670]

I would get absolutely no work done if people brought their babies to work. I'd want to play with them. Same thing goes with people having their dogs at work. I'd spend all day making funny faces at the babies and throwing balls for the dogs.

[@suyanatsuri3982]

Babies are so cute but they shouldn't be in the workplace lol

[@K3Flyguy]

Dumb idea in everyway. One parent needs to stay home with the kids. Doesn't need to be mom, or dad, should be both, one in day time, one in the evening. In truth, people should not live in such a way that both parents must work in order to make a living. Be happy with less, and spending more time with family. Have a garden, can food, work part time at home, watch your friends children. The new generations seem to think they MUST have vacas in far off countries, two cars in the garage, boats, cabins in the woods, golf, bowling, girls night out, guys night out, then date night, it just never ends. If parents don't want to spend time with the kids and spouse then don't marry or have children. Problem then doesn't exist to start with.

[@dianeevison4707]

I think a nursery/play group in the work place would be a better set up

[@sassafrasstree7449]

Make a crèche in the building. This is nuts!!!

[@thelmamadrine38]

Maybe a separate room like a work day care facility where parents(employees) can see their kids at work during their breaks.

[@ZeeshanKhan-hh6mc]

Its actually a great idea but for only toddler not the infants because being in such a confined environment with adults sneezing and coughing its actually threat to their health of young kids.

[@venumames6921]

ummm nope. Having to tolerate with screamings at work? NO Thanks. Think of your coworkers! Take responsibility of your children and don't torture others.

cant those people sit at home with a telephone??

[@iinspiredmantic2301]

My old boss use to let his toddlers roam around the office, I love kids & I'm a mum myself but tbh it wasn't ideal having a children in the office. He wouldn't supervise his kids, one of his son's almost fell down the stairs & the other was pulling out phone cables during calls. Then you'd get grilled by the customer for being disconnected, the screaming child in the background & then grilled by your boss for losing a customer.

[@jaydencolour1072]

@@paryssja641 they move more and require more attention. The little babies where just there. The toddlers where running around and drawing on things.

[@paryssja641]

Jayden Colour Either way they are still just as much work as the other and really aren’t fit to be in that type of area. Personally they should just create a daycare for the kids so the parents don’t have to have them in their work space.

[@jaydencolour1072]

[@kiwisweetheart71]

I can see this working, but there would have to be a cut off. Under 1 year old is the most crucial time, for bonding with parents, learning about themselves and this big new world etc. The younger ones were no problem, but it was much harder for the mums with toddlers. If I were making the decision, I'd say under 12 months old only.

[@claire4301]

What no sound cancelling head sets??? I think an on site creche would be much better. I can understand how a lot of the other employees would be pissed at the noise, but I totally feel for the parents. Not everyone plans to have kids and its not always a case of waiting until you can afford them. But single/working parents are losing so much money due to child care, its expensive and the fact that single parents want to go back to work should be praised. Only way I can see it slightly working is if the parents had a separate room which was sound proofed with more room at the cubicles to accommodate the babies but again I think on site creches are the way to go.

for the love have the company set up a creche onsite or near to. make arrangements for nursing mums to get over there or they pump. it can work but you cant base things on shoving a baby or child into an unfamiliar situation.

Typical male. The problem of childcare haven't been a issue when most of the employees where men? Because men are not responsible taking care of their offspring? In Finland we get child benefits and can stay home to take care our child up to 3 years. First 10 months benefits are higher that you really can stay home. Lots of people have to go to work after that but you get a small benefit until child turns three. If you can work from home or part time or your spouse is getting paid good enough parents can actually take care children at home. And when both parent`s go to work there is guaranteed that you get a place in daycare in 4 month. And the daycare taxes are supported by state so if you have low income you pay less or even nothing and if you have high income you still pay reasonable prize for your child daycare.
