[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's worth noting that at least per the original OP, the daughter is just coming along to the destination. She doesn't want to hang out with the kids and may not even want to hang out with her mom. It doesn't sound like OP is actually being asked to pay for anything - she's just worried that will happen. With good communication and clear expectations, it won't.

I used to accompany my husband on business travel all the time. Sometimes it was appropriate to join a business dinner, other times not. Sometimes he was occupied until midnight with business stuff, other times we did things together. The purpose of tagging along when he went to LA was to go to the beach, not his meetings. I'd imagine the teenager wants to be going to the beach, not babysitting OP's children in exchange for an overpriced steak.[/quote]

Not the same thing.  You weren't working 24-7 for a week.  This isn't a vacation for nanny.[/quote]

My husband also was not expected to be working 24/7 on these trips. He was there to have meetings during meeting hours, not to be with clients 24/7.

Is the OP expecting the nanny to be providing round-the-clock childcare for a week? Is she not supposed to sleep or have any personal time? If so, the problem is not that she wants to bring her daughter. The problem is that her employer is awful.[/quote]
