Does being a mom or dad lead to discrimination at work?

Ever been in a job interview where you were asked questions designed to figure out if you were a parent or planned to be one?

Ever felt you were bypassed for a job or promotion because you were a parent? Ever felt your boss or co-workers assume you'll miss work or ask special accommodations because you're a parent?

Or, conversely, are you an employee without young children who feels you're regularly asked to pick up the slack for co-workers with kids -- or an employer who has to deal with juggling employees' family concerns with just getting the job done each day?

We'd love to include your thoughts and experiences with a Forum Mother's Day story on workplace issues related to family status. Email me at kramsey@enquirer.com or call me at 768-8527. Feel free to also join the conversation right here. . . .

i'n not sure why you want to stir things up for mothers day. you know very well that what you describe is an everyday occurrence and that it impacts dads as well as moms.

whats ironic is that it driven by the corporatists and conservatives who all claim to be 100 percent for family values.
