Couldn't one say the same about getting people to come to an office 250 days per year?

No. It's a lot easier to hire someone to watch the kids on a regular basis, and also they go to school during the day. I can hire people to pick them up and watch them after school, and then help them after work with homework and chores and such.

But if work wants me to travel for a week, it either means my spouse has to pick up all the stuff I do at home, or I have to find someone I trust to stay at my home for a week on an ad-hoc basis.

It's much harder to find ad-hoc babysitting than regularly scheduled babysitting.
