    Could you manage one day perhaps as a compromise?

    Is this type of trip supposed to happen frequently, or is this a one-time thing? If the latter, I would probably try to make it work.

  • @MisterPositive I think it could be edited to match the new version but keep in mind that when you find yourself writing "I would do X" that's a clear sign that the question is probably problematic. "The risk of [action] is [consequences]" or "Doing [action] could be seen as [bad thing] and normally you're expected to [options]" makes for better answers as these posts are intended to be useful to other people beyond the OP.

    @MarianPaździoch So do you actually have a family reason for not going or do you simply not want to go and realised that your employer legally can't make you go? You could argue that you'd be abusing the spirit of these laws and adding to the poor reputation that new parents have in the workplace.
