How do I tell my friend politely she needs to make a decision between work and kids?
-
My friend has come back to work from a year of maternity and she is hardly ever at work and I’m worried she is going to get fired. my friend has been back for 8 months now yet she is always away because she says either her or her kid is sick. She is definitely away more then she is at work. On average she is away 8 to 10 times a month and she works part time. She was supposed to have a meeting the other day about the amount of absentees yet first off it was postpone by the company and then she was away for the next appointment. I don’t have kids yet I don't think she sees what is happening in the workforce when she is not their. Everyone has to make up for her work and the company looses money, the most common reason she is away is because she or her kid has a cold. She then has pictures posted up on face book of her spending the day playing with her kid. I just want my friend to be happy with what ever discission she makes yet the business world is about money and again I don't think she sees the work that we all have to do.My mum was a stay at home mum and it was the best decision for her yet I know was some days where it was the hardest. People at work are getting bitchy about it she always wanted to be a mum yet she tells her husband that she wants to work. I feel like the biggest ***** yet I feel like she needs to make a decision find a way to be able to commit to work ie find a baby sitter or relative or have a sick day plan or stay home with her kid I have said something and she turns around and says it will be ok she has doctors certificates

Answer:
your friend has a hard decision to make. just try and be easy and comforting. explain to her that if she chooses work she needs to find someone to take care of the kids and if she chooses the kids then discuss it with her husband. take me for example. i choose to be a stay at home mom. make it clear to her that choosing to be a full time mom is a job in its self and that tho she is not making money it is still rewarding. children are proven to learn faster when they have a full time parent. now on the other hand in this recession most couples need the money so if this is the case and she chooses work then she needs to be sure she focuses on that because she cannot afford to loose her job the likely hood she will find one is low until this recession ends. and as i said just be open and honest with her. as her friend its your job to tell her the stuff its to hard for others to say. hope this helps.
