[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious -Why does your mom have to fly in? If your husband was leaving for nine days, would you have to fly in a grandparent? [/quote]

Not OP, you don't sound curious, you come across as judgemental. I like having help and company when DH is away. I could survive without it, but it's  nice to have the extra set of hands. [/quote]

Oh my bad.  I meant to CLEARLY come across as judgmental because I can’t stand helpless dad syndrome and am just curious why he can’t handle one child for slightly over a week.  I seem to notice frequently that when women travel, it’s a big production and a grandparent has to be for them. But when men travel it’s literally no big deal.   The whole post is pathetic. OP has an important work trip and she’s second-guessing whether or not she should be able to take it.  If her spouse had an important work trip, do you think he would be hand wringing about it on DCUM and flying in grandma? No. He would just take the trip.  OP, your career is as important as that of your spouse, and your spouse is just as capable of taking care of his child as you are.[/quote]
