Ten Jobs You Absolutely, Positively Should Not ‘Take Your Child to Work Day’

10.) Work-From-Home Mom/Dad

Let’s face it, you’re desperately waiting for the ‘Please Take MY Kids to YOUR Work Day’. Say it loud, say it proud. (hat-tip Johnathan Liu)

.................

7.) Taxi Driver

Of course, maybe you like fielding such comments as “Dad, this guy smells funny” or “Why did that he just give you the finger?” or exposing your kid to such banter as “Get off the phone when you’re driving!” or “Sure I make change for a fifty. I’ve got pennies, dimes, and nickels.”

.........

4.) Disney World Mascot

This one is all about protecting the last shred of dignity you may have. Your job is to “Create the Magic” for hundreds of children and adults visiting the park while sweating buckets inside a hot costume in the mid-day Florida sun, but instead you’ll have a tag-a-long saying “That’s not Minnie Mouse, that’s my Mom!” and “Can I be in the picture, too?” and “When do we get to go on the rides?’

........

2.) Victoria’s Secret Bra Fitter

Chances are you have enough sense not to take your son of any age above 3 to this job site. And maybe your kids are comfortable with you flitting around the house in your employee-discount clothing (*cough* Shia LeBeouf *cough*). But do you really want your customers to hear: “Is that the lady you said didn’t have real ones?”



Got any better ideas? Leave a suggestion in the comments.
