There is a rule of thumb which posits that the time spent at the
airport by any significant other varies inversely with the stage in the
relationship:

Just started dating: "This is cool, when can we go back to the
airport"
Dating a while: "This is cool, I'll meet you there later"
Dating a long time: "This is cool, I'll skip today but I'll see you
tomorrow"
Engaged: "This is cool, but I'll meet you for dinner afterward"
Just married: "Do you have to go to the airport today?"
First child: " You're not going to the airport today, are you?"
Second child: "Don't even think about it"

Just in case any of you rat-*******s (and you know who you are) are
thinking of forwarding this to my lovely wife, Mary: Some of us are
lucky enough to wind up with someone who understands that all serious
glider pilots are nuts and have the ability to put up with our many
foibles. They may not always be able to make it out to the field and
crew, but in a pinch, they'll stick two screaming kids in the back seat
and drive with a 30 foot trailer over hill and dale to come get you.
We are the lucky ones.
