 My
Mommy’s on a
Business Trip
By Phaedra Cucina
The economy’s
downward spiral is forcing parents across the country to adjust
their work loads. To keep their family’s finances stable, many
working mothers are either having to take on projects that may
include more travel than they would like, or they are more
uncomfortable declining assignments that call for time on the
road. Turning down these assignments are not usually a viable
option in a recession with rising unemployment rates.
The angst mothers feel over
business travel often goes unspoken, yet it is a common issue
young families struggle with.
My Mommy’s on a Business Trip
is told through the voice of a child and explores the
unbreakable bond between mother and child – even when Mom has to
leave town.
Establishing how deeply distressed others are
regarding business travel, Cucina’s book draw tears
from women reliving those painful moments of
separation from their children. “Every time the
suitcase comes out of the closet, my two-year old
son throws himself into the suitcase crying ‘no
go!’…As my heart sinks and tears well in my eyes, I
choke back the lump in my throat and tell him that
mommy needs to go,” says Jen Dorre, Sales Director
for Microsoft.
My Mommy’s on a
Business Trip is a unique approach to a
family discussion on children’s fears and concerns
in a fun, supportive way. A mother’s responsibility
to support her family is seen as less scary and more
entertaining.
