“I’m going to need to be remote for (whatever couple days) over the next few months for personal reasons. I’ll make sure the team is prepared to cover any onsite requirements.”

I don’t think you need to be direct assuming you have a good track record. You’d might chat first with you coach, counselor, pml, etc. to say you have travel restrictions over specific dates but the choice of how much to disclose is up to you. That said, I’d be totally understanding if that was a cause of the travel restriction.

On another note, good luck! Although I don’t know you, I really hope it’s successful 🙌🙏. Don’t get discouraged and stay close with your partner no matter what. I’m rooting for you

If the SM has kids, I might be pretty direct about what is going on (depending n your relationship). I’ve had people tell me and nice I know I work with them to make it happen as much as possible.

That said, be creative as well. We are pretty sure our second was conceived when I left the office a little earlier than normal and swung by the home on the way to the airport. 😀

Agree with being direct if possible. If/when you do have kids, you’ll have all sorts of other events you’ll want to be home to attend, so better to make sure you’re part of a supportive team from the get-go.

Actual conversation between my (work) partner and I:

Hey...I’ve got to “deliver a package” in the coming months and will have to adjust travel accordingly.

Partner (male): do what you gotta do

Whew, I’m not sure how that would work out. Have you been trying for a while without success? If the answer is no, I’d recommend trying for a couple months first before making that ask.

Seriously get your wife an ovulation kit... we were trying for 6months and then she got that kit
And found out her timing was 4 days off... we used it and bam next month she was pregnant.

I straight up told my partners that were trying and I need to fly in late or leave early

No issues

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

Husband is a multi sport coach and gone a lot in season, I work in corp banking.

Does anybody do this where you take, maybe 1 day, to create multiple 3 day weekends scattered throughout the year for little trips instead of taking vaca in longer stints? Do you feel more refreshed with lots of smaller trips, or more with a few long trips? Kids are 1 & 3.

The lounge access at airports were a nice benefit, never got to use it since my client travel was through Amtrak.
