[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest went when she was a baby to Boston in a combined work/pleasure trip with in laws, husband and older sibs. I had a two hour meeting in Boston.

She also went to West Coast with the whole family again (not the in-laws that time) for another work/pleasure trip. Again, had a couple of meetings lasting an hour or so.

Then she went with my husband and I to California for an interview dinner, where they were really trying to recruit me. I didn’t go but they were really nice and she was such an easy baby.

Took my older DD (just the two of us, not my husband) on a couple of trips to the West Coast when she was a teen. Now she is grown, but she told me recently she felt really special on those trips. I think it depends what you do, how long meetings (no more than an hour or two) are, is your employer or client family friendly, what are logistics for your child - is it a safe, family friendly area etc.

Now she is taking business trips of her own to CA and feels totally comfortable! It took a long time for me to realize that they learned something from me as a working mom. I spent so much time feeling guilty and they didn’t really mind at all.

Ironically, I don’t travel at all anymore with Zoom etc.[/quote]
