After Mark left last night, I received a call from a relative who took pity (and I quote) on "Poor Mark" - for his having to travel last minute. So, here are my top 10 reasons on why I don't truly see it as "Poor Mark".
10. He is able to stay in a hotel where someone else makes your bed.
9. He is able to go out to eat wherever he wants.
8. He is able to eat his meals as slowly as he wants, with the benefit of not preparing someone else's food; not listening to whining about the food; not cutting someone else's food; or having to share his food.
7. He does not have to do any housework at home.
6. He is able to fly on an airplane with none of his family, and is able to read, sleep, or watch a movie in peace.
5. He is able to take a shower without small children barging in to say "hi".
4. He is able to urinate in private.
3. He is able to drive in a new rental car and listen to the music he wants to listen to.
2. After work, he can watch TV all night long and not tuck anyone in.
And the number one reason I don't see it as "Poor Mark": He is able to poop in peace!

I still say it's better to have them gone than home not being helpful. Plus, you get to eat out and you choose what restaurant!
