Advice please

Assume your contract says two weeks paid vacation. Do you give parents any paid vacation days? If it is also two weeks then she is using one of your weeks plus the next one but yes should have told you.

Are they actually coming back would be my concern - it is like they just left if you haven't heard from them. Since they reduced the weeks for financial reasons they may have found cheaper care like grandma or no longer need care at all.
