A coworker just told me he has to go home early because his wife is upset because their son and DIL suffered a miscarriage.
This is a sad event to be sure, and if it had been his wife who had the miscarriage certainly he would need to go home. But he had to go home because his DIL had a miscarriage??
Their DIL is fine (health wise). This would have been the first child for their son and DIL together but they both have children from previous marriages. They are both young. They were able to get pregnent soon after they started trying.
Is it insensitive of me to not understand why his wife would be so upset that he had to leave work early to go home and comfort her???
