It's obvious that none of you even really understand what the day is supposed to be about so you cheat your kids, your co-workers, and other children in your life out of an experience that could help shape their future. It's not a day for 3 year olds or playpens. It was meant for kids age 8-17; a plan for the day is supposed to be set; they don't just stay with their parent but they learn about the company you work for and how it fits into society; they then have a school assignment related to how they spent the day.
We have over 80 kids come to our surgical center and they have activities set up for 9am-2pm which include- learning about blood pressures, temps, heart rates and why those numbers are important, they learn about medical records and actually put together one for themselves as they go to the different stations throughout the day; they can have a cast put on, go into the OR and learn about what each person does in the OR, First Aid, they play with our scope s and get pictures taken with them, they learn how to take a BP and what their heart rate looks like on a monitor; they have time to do art projects that we set up, the fire dept comes and lets the kids play on the truck, and the list goes on. They go home exhausted and it promotes a more cohesive work environment.
It sounds like the biggest barrier to making it work for your people is your horrible attitudes and blatant dislike for the path you chose in life. With that said, it's probably better your kids don't go to work with you- failure isn't much fun to witness.

I think it's a stupid day. The kids must be so bored – I feel sorry for them. At our workplace they are often here all day. It's bad enough being at work when you're a worker, but if you're not even getting paid?? And you have to be there all day? It's also seems geared solely towards daytime office workers. What if you work at a 7-11? Or the graveyard shift in a factory? What if the conditions in that factory were dangerous? Of course they would not allow you to bring your child to work in that case. The whole thing is so stupid, they should abolish it, nuf said.
