[quote=Anonymous]I have declined travel when it wasn't possible for me, so feel free to decline. When I was a GS7, work had me on a crazy travel schedule to rural America (terrible per diem rates). Even if I ate pop tarts and saved all my per diem, it wasn't enough to cover the cheapest dog boarding I could find. And I didn't have savings yet to draw from to be able to travel for work. Basically I just couldn't afford it. DH travels for work nonstop internationally as a fed and it's rough. I think they expect him to have a SAHM. We're often paying extra to babysitters or daycare to make it work, extra aftercare for my other DD. We try our hardest to make it work, but it's not easy. Luckily he's nearly always bumped to business class because he flies so much, so there's that. [/quote]
