It’s annoying enough when the people you work with are CONSTANTLY using their kids as an excuse to get off early.  “I have a childcare emergency!”  COME ON!  I’m sure it’s often true, but the bitch of it is that you can’t call someone on a kid excuse.  It’s just not done.

Now that I’m 33 and single, I end up dating single fathers now and again.  And I have to admit, I’m slightly suspicious when they have to cancel and cite their kid as the reason why.

I am sure that these guys are being honest.  In fact I blame my co-workers* for dulling my senses to “alleged” childcare issues.  Stop taking advantage!  Not that I think you are, cause as I said, calling someone on the kid excuse just isn’t done.

*Note: when referring to co-workers I don’t mean you.  I mean people that I USED to work with.  And if I used to work with you, I don’t mean you either.
