Re: Do you take off from work for your DC's birthday?
I'm a SAHM, but DH never has. The kids were both born at times where companies/sectors he covers tend to report earnings so it's really hard to take off.

Re: Do you take off from work for your DC's birthday?
I was just thinking about this. I was stressing about whether or not I should make cupcakes to bring to daycare...but maybe I should just take the day off, and spend it with DD instead!

Re: Do you take off from work for your DC's birthday?
I already did.
I only work p/t, but I want to have family over for pizza/cake for her actual b-day. The party will be that weekend.

Before you do that you better ask if you could. My daycare-preschool said NO NO NO (amy winehouse) to home baked goods..
Take the day off and make/eat them yourselves!!

Re: Do you take off from work for your DC's birthday?
Yes, both DH and I took the day off. DH because it was DS's first birthday. Me because there is nowhere I'd rather be than with DS on his birthday.

Re: Do you take off from work for your DC's birthday?
Wow, I am surprised at the replies.
No, I would not purposefully take the day off from work. I would be sure to celebrate their birthday, but I don't think it constitues needing a day off from work. JMHO

I agree.
I am a SAHM so obviously it doesn't apply to me but DH never took the day off...

I agree... I also never get why people take their own birthday off just for the sake of taking a day off.
