Thanks for the unsolicited advice, but us childless adults have our fur-babies, so we're pretty content in the 'caregiver' department.
Even if you like kids outside of work, nobody wants to have their coworker's children forced on them– it's just weird! (And yes, this is a PSA to that one coworker who won't stop showing you pictures of their kids and won't catch the hint that you don't care) But when it comes to dodging kiddos in the workplace, you'd think you'd be totally safe at a company-sanctioned event, right?
