[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t sound like OPs spouse travels a lot so if this is a one off trip maybe see if there’s a compromise, like her mom comes too and watches kids some of the time. I was really reluctant to travel when my kids were little so I get where she’s coming from but it’s a lot to ask of you. It also really depends on where and what kind of travel it is. Japan for 12 hours work days? No way.

A conference at a family friendly retreat in the US? Could be ok. My husband has voiced that he would like it if we all came along when he has been to conferences at really nice hotels/resorts with beautiful pools but it has never worked out. Neither of us would dream of dragging the kids along on a meeting to a client where he is with them basically all day.[/quote]

The job is at a professional services firm, so most of the travel would be conferences and/or client service meetings. I guess the volume of travel going forward depends on what she wants to do with her career and how much she can get away with. Between maternity leave and coming out of the early newborn fog, there has not been any work travel this year, but that has not been the normal cadence. [/quote]
