    Would you give in on this?

    I have a FT DCG that is going down to 2 days/week when her mom goes on mat leave next month. She wants to pull her daughter for two weeks without pay, and an additional 1 week over Christmas, which she is willing to pay for. My vacation policy is that I don't charge when I'm on vacation, and if you want to take an additional two weeks, it is at 50%. Anything on top of that is at full pay.

    For her, money is tight because her EI won't kick in for a few weeks, and her husband is in construction and doesn't work over the winter. The thing is, Christmas is coming, and we had some emergency home repairs last week, so money is tight here too. Not to mention that I'm loosing my only FT spot, and while I'm getting a PT replacement in January, that doesn't help now. Would you be ok with no pay for 2 weeks? I was thinking of offering to let her pay once her EI comes in. Thanks for your input.

    ETA: I just put 2 and 2 together. She told me a while ago that her mom was coming to stay with her for a couple of weeks after she had the baby. So this is about having free daycare at home. If it was truly about money being tight, they would have switched her to PT already, now that her husband isn't working. Now I'm really sticking to my guns, without feeling guilty.
