I'll miss her how and when I want to

This past weekend my husband and daughter went away on a trip with the Blackhawk Princesses to Key Lime Cove.  Over the course of my week I made mention of this trip and how I had a bit of anxiety about missing her.  Someone said "but you travel for business, you must be used to it."  Um really?  You never get used to missing your child and yes, I do travel for business but that does not mean it is ever easy for her to be away.  Frankly, when I travel for work, it's not really a choice, this trip I could have attended, but it was important for them to do this together.

This begs the question, what gives people the right to dictate, how, when, where, and why I could miss my child?

Oh right, there is no right to this...for anyone other than me.
