I had a whopper of a fight with my spouse this morning about the increasing (frankly insane) travel demands of his job this year- nothing has changed at all except that suddenly four-day in-person off-sites are happening all over the continent, basically every six weeks. Covering this as a family with two teens is hard (verging on impossible- we are having to fly family members across the country to help), and it would be even without my own school schedule and planning needs.
