You're not the only one. I used to travel around Europe regularly with work and enjoyed most of it.

I've now got a 7 year old and twin 2 year olds. They're a handful and a half, even on a good day. They're my family, much as I like most of them my coworkers are not. My wife really struggles with the kids at times and we don't have much of a support network to lean on. She called me just yesterday from the other side of town because one of the two year olds was refusing to get into his car seat. I ended up driving there to help her.

I basically turn down anything that requires an overnight stay now. I get away with it but it definitely trades on what political capital I have.
