off and on.  which is apparently adorable and means it needs to go back to it's mother and everyone crowd around her for their turn to touch it.

i like it when moms bring their babies into the office.  it provides me additional data on my coworkers from which i can use to form a more complete opinion on them.

yeah, if I walk by a coworker with a baby I just kind of smile and make my eye's big and keep walking.

oh god. anybody that goes in to work for any reason on a day when they are not working is just screaming "look at me! hey everybody look at me!". the baby is just a prop for someone dying for attention. i double ignore those people.

im horrible with baby names. so when they bring the baby/kid in multiple times, i have to guess the gender and go with a generic compliment. "Oh my, what a cutie, ugh, he is!"

I always ask the parent if we got bought out of the insurance industry and purchased stock in a nursery.  They usually give me a sad look and probably assume I'm joking with them and am not actually mad about it.  They are wrong.  One lady's babysitter backed out at the last second.  So she sat her 10 year old in one of the break rooms.  He was just in there playing his nintendo ds for like 3 hours when someone told her that she can't just set her kids in our break room for her work day.  She then started crying.

Gushing over babies and kids is the stupidest thing on earth unless you are related to them. Even then, it better be a direct relation not 2nd cousins or some crap. Also, if you are going to gush over a baby you better realize strangers and the rest of everyone that isn't family don't give a eff about you and your babies.

Also, I'm very anti baby in the office, but all my co workers want me to bring my baby to the office for a baby parade.  I have determined that I really don't care about other people's kids like at all, but love my kids a bunch, does this make me a bad person?

Babies are awesome, especially the startle response in the first 8 weeks.  Most of you that don't like babies have likely induced that response.

All the women in my office wanted mrs.hamburg to bring little miss hamburg in.  We have open areas with  5 desks around the outside and tables in the middle to promote teamwork.  10-15 people can comfortably hang out.  We just kept her in the room for 30ish minutes.  If you wanted to see her you could come to that room.  People came and went as they wanted.  Everyone seemed to enjoy 5 minutes if they chose to come in.  :dunno:

My office has an infant at work program.  With mini-176 I took him to work with me until he was 5 months old (I was off 12 weeks, so he wasn't a newborn when he started). Never had to do the baby parade thing, cause he was there e'ry day. 

Now with baby slu on her way, I'll do the same thing, but this office will allow me to keep her here until 6 months.

Glad I don't work with any of you aholes.

Ya guys the old hens like pester you to bring the baby in.  So like you're the dude you're working and your wife is at home bored so like she wants to get out, too.  So what you do is on a Thursday or Friday she swings through with the kid at about 3 or 330, you walk around for 30 minutes and hit the people that have been bugging you, then the kid gets fussy and you're like "ya know I really ought to go home and help out" and boom you're not at work until 7 that night.  It's not like you hit every cube/office and demand attention.  I sure as crap don't want the majority of my colleagues within 6 feet of my kid.

You should stumble into it and mention how much of a safety hazard it is.

Wow, that is a great idea. I was going to suggest going over and playing with the baby all afternoon and then, when you don't get anything done, tell your boss that the baby is just too much of a distraction.

Dogs are trainable if you are a good owner (and the breed is smart). Babies aren't trainable no matter how good of parent you are.
