and most people don't understand that when you are doing all that "fun stuff", sometimes you'd rather be at home reading to a little one or cuddling with your spouse or just in the hotel catching up on sleep. Life is full of trade offs, and if your family gets to travel as a result of your business travel that's as it should be, but it's still a trade off.
