Dear Mommy's BossA Kid's Perspective of the Corporate Workplace
By Sydney W. Joshua (FriesenPress Aug. 25, 2021) Looking for a way to hint to your boss that perhaps it’s time to cut you some slack in the childcare department? Or perhaps you’ve been searching for a way to thank your accommodating boss because they’ve shown that they “get it”.
Dear Mommy’s Boss is a collection of humorous, fictional letters written by young children to their mothers’ bosses to thank them for cutting their mothers some slack while pregnant and/or while they raised their children. This is a perfect gift book for that special boss who doesn’t cringe when the kids come to the office every now and then and is known to make child-related concessions. In addition to providing heartfelt entertainment, seasoned with a healthy dose of sarcasm, this book examines the tricky balance between corporate responsibilities and parenting responsibilities and allows for reflection on how to take things in stride while remaining committed to the task at hand. |
