Was it wrong for my boss to do this?

I think you are being silly. I think the coworker who brought a five year old child into the back room at her JOB was ridiculous and could have been fired for doing so. And if you don't understand the difference between a five month old (who is very clearly being carried) and a five year old, then there is just no helping you to understand this.

There are a couple of factors right here that form of blur in combination. Gossip within the office is dangerous. It's dangerous industry, dangerous for morale, simply dangerous. So managers is not going to inspire it a lot much less perform it. So they have been mistaken on that factor. They're doubly mistaken encouraging gossip out of an employment problem. The subsequent factor is what the fellow mentioned to you. I think I will have to ask if you're homosexual and he was once issuing a slur, or was once he simply making jealous observation for your sharp dressmaker cloth wardrobe? ;) If he was once simply being a horse's patoot, I can see the quizzical, "Do you recognize what Tim simply known as me?" that could turn out to be a supply of chatter. On the opposite hand, if he was once being individual, you'll have made matters just a little extra formal wherein the will for worker confidentiality might be just a little extra seen to the denser managers. No, you *is not going to* need to say "do not say something" to any supervisor, it is only a subject of direction. It was once unprofessional. Not addressing this with the perp and taking suitable motion is unprofessional. I might say possibly they did and it is personal, however that turns out external the scope in their knowledge. I do not know what you are watching for rather then confirmation, however you are correct. It was once dealt with badly. "Tim" will have to be suspended or terminated.

Your boss sounds like a major b*tch. I feel sorry for the little boy. Here he is wanting to meet his mommy's boss and she was very rude to him. I hope his feelings were not hurt. Yes, I think your coworker should report the boss, as long as what you are saying is true that the coworker just took him in the back to meet her and was not doing anything more than that at the time.

Why would your co-worker not tell the manager that her son would like to meet her and ask when a good time is?

Discriminating against children is not illegal.

Your 5m old was probably in a carrier and can't really run wild, that would be a big difference.

MYOB! This is not your fight so butt out! Your managers personality is also not your business. It is her business to see that you and your co workers get the job done which means sticking to the task at hand and not introducing uninvited distractions into the work area. Why was your kid there? Not the place to bring babies or preschoolers. The time to introduce children to your boss is at a social occasion where families are invited. If sympathize with the boss if she has to put up with a bunch of busy body drama llamas all day.

Is this a work place or a day care? why the hell would your 5 year old son really want to meet your manager for lol

Yes. Very wrong. That is one of the rudest things I've ever heard on Yahoo Answers. Curse her for a trillion generations.

Thats a good question. I am not sure. I feel it wrong though. I think you should talk to someone about it.

Welcome to life with a female manager. Wench one say best friend the next. Moody is what women are. You just have to go with the flow.
