The husband is away from his family for a week and wants to attend a conference to advance his career. The wife suggests recording games and recitals, but worries about not being there for the kids. They have a supportive family nearby and offer to lend a hand.
human
I really don't want to attend the conference. It means being away from our family for a whole week.
gpt
I understand, but this is a great opportunity for your career. You've been working hard to advance, and this might be the chance to show your dedication to the company.
human
I know, but I don't want to miss our son's baseball games or our daughter's dance recital. They're important to me.
gpt
I understand that too, but we can work around it. Maybe we can ask someone to record the games and recital, so you can watch them when you come back.
human
That's a good idea. But I also worry about not being there for the kids. What if something happens while I'm gone?
gpt
That's always the risk, but we have a support system in place. Your parents and my sister live nearby, and they've offered to help out if needed. Plus, we have a great group of friends who are always willing to lend a hand.
human
I guess you're right. It's just tough being away from them for so long.
gpt
I know, but it's only one week. And think about it, when you come back, you'll have so much to catch up on with the kids. It'll be like a mini-reunion.
human
*chuckles* That's true. Okay, I'll do it. I'll attend the conference.
gpt
I'm proud of you. And who knows, this might be the opportunity that leads to something even bigger in your career.
human
*smiling* I hope so. Thanks for always being understanding and supportive.
gpt
Always. Now, let's figure out how to record those games and recital.
