I really don't want to attend this conference next week.

Why not? Is it because of work or something else?

It's just that I'll have to be away from you and the kids for a whole week. And I don't want to miss out on Billy's baseball games or Abby's dance recital.

I understand that you don't want to miss out on those things, but this conference is really important for your job. Maybe we can try to record Billy's games and Abby's recital so you can watch them when you get back?
human
I know it's important, but I hate the thought of being away from you guys for so long.

We'll miss you too, believe me. But sometimes we have to make sacrifices for our careers. Remember when my friend gave you a ride to work every day when your car broke down? That was a sacrifice she made for you.
human
Yes, I remember. I was so grateful for her help.

Maybe think of this conference as an opportunity for your career and as a way to provide for our family. We'll be here when you get back, and we'll be cheering you on.

You're right. I need to think about the bigger picture. Thanks for helping me put things into perspective, dear.
