If you want to be a good team leader or push back on your clients, just again, you're not saving lives.

It's fine.

Yes, they might be a little bit annoyed, but push back on your clients, push back on deadlines.

Things will still move on.

Life goes on.

It's fine.

Okay, let's read another one.

A mighty asshole for giving my husband an ultimatum about work travel.

Posting with a throwaway.

My husband and I are in our mid-thirties.

I work in tech and he works in an academia-adjacent role that requires work travel at least once per month, typically for at least a week at a time.

This includes domestic and international trips, some spanning multiple weeks.

I work full-time from home.

We have a toddler and an amazing nanny who watches him for 40 hours per week.

We also have family help for a few hours per week.

Oh my gosh.

All the childcare responsibilities fall on me.

Our nanny does a lot, and my husband likes to point this out when this conversation comes up, but I am still responsible for 100% of childcare before and after working hours.

I am exhausted to my bones by the end of the night.

The tricky thing is that I make dramatically more money than my husband.
