Yeah, that would hurt me too, even if I get the logistics angle of it. I'd offer to meet up after work in downtown while my husband took care of daycare pick up but if he had plans with friends, I wouldn't push it.

I guess it depends, but generally yes. If I'm going back to my home town, I stay with my parents anyway because they have the space. If I'm going up to NYC, I have an aunt who lives about an hour out in NJ - I'll make a point of seeing her if I'm there long enough, but I won't necessarily make a day trip out to see her in NJ if I'm only there for 48 hours for a set agenda.

If schedule allows, yes. I have cousins all over the place.
