I usually take less than 10 unpaid days a year (I get all stats off and they are paid). It is more so because I cannot afford to take a full week or two off in a row. My husband doesn't get holidays either so it isn't usually a big issue. He does get Friday's off so usually the time off I book is the odd Friday here and there. I have already booked 10 days off in the upcoming year but they are all spread out so that I get a 3 day weekend more often during the summer. I ended up lucking out this Christmas and had 8 days off instead of the 5 I had planned. It was nice because I think I was on the road to burnout. I might even take a few more Friday's off in the new year (whether my parents like it or not LOL). My contract doesn't really specify an set amount of time off I will take just that I will give one months notice although I usually provide 6 months unless it is for an appointment or something else. My New Years Resolution is to take more time for my family and I intend on doing it (and will feel guilty though the whole time lol).
