Booked my vacation...one parent not too happy

[MonkeyPrincess]

Oh- and her husband is unemployed

WTH Indeed!!! Then they should have NO problem with your vacation if he will be home (unless he knows he will be back to work). Why is it always 'that' family that has a hard time with DCP time off? You know, the one that pays late, picks up late, doesn't call when the kid is absent and are a pain to deal with. They have the audacity to give you a hard time about what is rightfully yours (ie vacation and sick days) despite it being written in the contract that they signed! Besides, it's not your responsibility to find back up care, it's the parents responsibility. Do they not think you are ever going to take a vacation or close due to your own illness? Geez, the stupidity of people floors me sometimes.
