I have such a different perspective. I'd rather be with my kids any time over travel. And if they are sick, they need me more. Do you really think any one at those conference calls cares that you are tired? They probably respect you more for being a good dad. So be a good dad.

Welcome to the life of one who is continuously under-caffeinated. There’s only one way to scratch that itch

Coffee, it never did anything for me other than give me a stomach ache. On the flip side the pain kept me awake.

But like M1 said I rather be home with my sick kiddo and help my wife than be on the road feeling helpless being so far from home.

Kid over road any day of the week. There are only a few chances in your kids life they will need you like this. You can work till you die. They are only a kid once. They look up to you and you are their hero. Hero’s don’t disappoint!
