I recently changed my career...well in October.. & I have 3 children. In the initial interview, i didnt find it necessary to mention that I have children. I dont think this has anything to do with my qualifing skills, professionalism, or my ability to get a job done. Well, after a few months of working here, i became rather close with the owner. She immediatly referred to me as a "daughter" to her, and time again just assumed that I did not have children, NOR did she even ask me directly. When she is in the office, she is basically running around busy, and directing me to do the same, i did not find it appropriate to just come out and say "Hey, by the way I have kids"...I wanted to tell her in a more intimate setting. Well, after ANOTHER comment about children, i believe it was "WHEN you have your own kids, you'll know the value of a dollar".At that point I said "I DO have kids", she got upset. Was she upset because I burst her little bubble? Or was I wrong for not saying something?
