This may be a daft question, but I have a meeting coming up where I won't be home till very late (it's on the other side of the country!) Normally childcare is not a problem as DH is a SAHD - BUT this happens to be the one evening that he has something on that's really important to him and I can't shift my meeting.
So is it unreasonable to ask my employer to cover the cost of getting our babysitter in for the night? We don't have any family nearby who can help out. Or is this cost meant to be covered by the overtime that I would normally be paid for working late?
If it's a tax issue, it just seems bizarre that it's OK for my employer to put me up in a naice 4* hotel and pay for a meal if I'm travelling, but not to cover this sort of cost!
