[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he has too much fun on those work trips [/quote]

[b]He had a lot of fun. From what he told me, they had 3 fancy dinners, one at the special chef’s table in the restaurant kitchen. Also a team outing on a boat.[/b] In spite of having no beds to make, no dishes to do, and no commute because his hotel was adjacent to the firm’s office in that city, he still had “no time” to reply to the 2 texts I sent him over the course of 4 days with requests for important information that he had which access to and would take all of 30 seconds to pull up. I wish I could take myself completely offline from family life whenever I wanted to focus on work or felt tired.

I got home from taking the kids to an activity and running what errands I could today and he was cooking himself an elaborate lunch while playing on his phone and watching sports.

Truly debilitating stomach bug. Pray for his health.[/quote]

Meh, it's work travel. No matter how "fancy" the dinners, etc, work travel is always exhausting. [/quote]

I was on 80% travel before kids. Yes, it was exhausting. But I was only responsible for myself. I slept on sheets I didn’t have to wash, ate food I didn’t prepare, and even if it was 11 pm, I had no one but myself to worry about once I was back in my hotel room.

I would trade that for doing work at home after bedtime while doing dishes and taking the dog out and having a kid wake up an hour after I finally fall asleep *any day.* there’s exhausted from work travel and then there’s exhausted from caregiving, and they cannot be compared.[/quote]
