[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a troll, based on the thread from a month or so ago where it was the dad who travelled. OP probably wants to see if a woman would get the same responses the dad did in the other thread. So far, yes. [/quote] This. We are consistent at least. If you can’t jump back in after work travel, I think you need a new job.[/quote] Not the OP but I am seriously wondering if you are serious? When I travel it's usually for intense work trips, sometimes 16 hour days and long periods of being "on" in front of large groups. no dinners and socializing. my flights are usually 6 hours or so. I come back unable to function. Do I need a new job? [/quote] That or you suck it up and be a parent. A six hour flight gives you 6 hours of child free bliss. You got to sleep at night without having to worry at all about kids waking up. You got to take care of your needs and your career. . Sure you are tired afterwards, but you come home at dinner, you spend time witH your kids. [/quote] [b]You either don't travel for work or you hate your kids[/b]. Have you been on a plane lately? [/quote] Do you hate your kids PP? I’m confused. Apparently taking care of children is all unicorns and rainbows. Don’t you want to spend time with them after a long stressful trip? Since childcare is so relaxing, it seems like the perfect way to unwind - unless you hate your kids... So, do you? [/quote] Actually, I am of the opinion that both parents should be pitching in, because they are both tired. In both threads, I think the idea that the at-home parent gets to tag out immediately is ridiculous and spoiled. Caring for kids is just not that hard, and business travel is hardly some vacation. I was a SAHM, too, so I know what I am talking about as far as caring for kids. I would never have just dumped my kids on my exhausted business traveling spouse, but of course he pitched in immediately.[/quote]
