I feel your pain, my husband goes all over and I get left behind to man the fort. At least I usually get something Tiffany on the return trip!

It is tough.. and actually I don't know why but this time seems harder than other times... I think there is some jealously involved.. Wouldn't it be soooo lovely to just jet off stay in a hotel.. have meals cooked etc etc... Business trip my arse..!!

It sucks a bit because his last company would sometimes pay for me and my daughter to join, and with the amount of vacation I used to get in Amsterdam it was totally doable. But here I can't even take a day off sick so it wouldn't matter if they would pay or not ![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)
I get the jealousy thing too - especially when they get upgraded! I'm left with the sick kid who only wants to eat macaroni and he's eating out on his $100 a day dinner allowance.

And why don't they get that when they get upgraded they are supposed to bring us back the goodies! I've told my husband a thousand times!
Although we all got upgraded last week, only to economy plus and only to DC but my husband is over 6ft tall so he needs that extra legroom!
