So, if she called out once or twice a week because she couldn't find child care would you be here complaining that it's not fair that women with children get more time off work?
I would say she needs to be fired for not having a plan B
Children have no right to be in the work place. I would notify the labor board in your state about this. Having children in the workplace is dangerous for both the children and the other workers. I don't know what kind of place it is you work in, but I would venture to say that the labor board has laws against it. I'd find out if they do, and what they are, and report the business if they are in violation. ASAP.

Wouldn't go that far. I don't have kids of my own, but here and there people bring their kids/wives/husbands into my workplace (software engineering lab and office). I'm a manager there and it doesn't bother me one bit and I would never criticize an employee for this. If anything, it creates a more family friendly atmosphere and lets the employees get to know each other better.
No, they don't come during testing, meetings or conference calls and things like that. However, I see absolutely no harm in families occasionally touring the office and meeting some of the employees their family member works with.

My point is I shouldn't have to do that because they are not supposed to be around me. That's like my landlord coing in my apartment unannounced and having a problem with me eating cereal with no clothes on-lol
Poor landlord...j/k. But really, if it bothers you this much go to HR. Submit your complaint. I really think though you are making mountains out of molehills. If others do this, you may have to deal with them ganging up on you. And aren't you suppose to be a motivational speaker? Um..that's confusing and contradicting.
here I work, I do not swear with impunity, but I will certainly let a shyte or a g-damn or even an f-bomb fly from time to time.
So you curse from time to time and you get punished for it but you keep on doing it? Or do you not know what the word 'impunity' means? I'm guessing the latter.
That kind of behavior is not appropriate in most workplaces, but if it is acceptable to your employer then why should you change your behavior just because someone brought their kid to work?

A 14yr old can be left at home.
If it is a one time thing(worked with a woman who brought her 3 yr old once, but it was an emergency) but children should not be at their parent's workplace on a regular basis.
And it has nothing to do with adult language, they just don't belong there.

This really depends entirely on the company culture and the type of work they do.
Kids should not be allowed in the workplace. Plain and simple. Get a babysitter.
