Hi everyone! I have a few questions on submitting the visa appointment fee expense for reimbursement in DTE: Can we submit an expense for our spouse’s visa appointment (they’re on H4)? I am from India and in order to pay the visa fee I used the NEFT option to pay but the Indian bank account my brother’s. What receipt will be accepted in DTE? I don’t think there’s any receipt that we received. It was just my brother initiated the transfer from his Deloitte" class="linkified" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >account.Deloitte

Had a buddy and Accenture the same exact issue managing Director he basically had to tell his partner that he can’t be on the road or he’s got a quit and they adjusted work life balance to accommodate
Get the kid fun postcards, chocolates, mementos (t-shirts etc) from the cities you are visiting.
I always fo this and she loves it.
Video Calls/Factimes, sending pictures while you are traveling etc
As other posters mentioned - can see if remote quality time helps so there's less separation felt. A partner I worked with on a travel case Facetimed his son before bedtime to talk and read a story before he went down. This was every night he was on the road. It was sacred - he frequently skipped or left team dinners early.
As others said, FaceTime every night or even before bedtime to have a conversation. You can read her a book.
I usually call my daughter on FaceTime while I’m walking back in the hotel or doing anything fun so we can explore together.
Also send her pictures of your trip (could be anything random like your meal) and pick up something for her on the way back. My daughter always look forward to the keychain or the cookie I got from the flight.
One of my colleagues got a matching stuffed animal and takes it on trips and poses it for photos and sends them back. That camel has platinum status at this point. He said it helped a ton and it is fun.
I think different things work for different kids. Interested to know how you handle the “leaving” piece. Are you making a big deal of it and showing that you are sad and feel bad about having to go? That could be negatively impacting and causing some trauma. Sounds harsh but I think emphasizing that you’ll miss them but you’re super excited to see them when you get home (maybe ask them to draw you some pictures so they are excited to show you something when you get back) as opposed to telling them you are sad and sorry you have to leave is a better approach.
:( no advice, the post pooped up on my feel but best of luck
Phone calls!
We do special thing’s when one of us is not home like falling asleep in our bed, going out for dinner or camping in the living room.
It works well my 3 year old asked last week when I go bye bye again. He wants ice cream in the tent.
I set up a stickie note treasure hunt of sorts before I go. I hide little notes (jokes, I love you, drawings, etc) to our daughter all over the house and make it a game. I put them in places that are hidden but I know she will look, like the lid of the toy box, in favorite books, under her toothbrush, etc.
My partner then helps her hide notes for me throughout the week and the night before I come home. It makes her excited for the game and just shifts the vibe from being sad to having fun. It worked well for us, but may not work for all kids.
Having the same issue with my now 6yo, had a regression and was fine last year but all of a sudden crying when I leave.
“Today in going to draw a picture for you, will you draw one for me?” And then share that night
