Booked my vacation...one parent not too happy

[torontokids]

Just to clarify I never said I would take only 2 wks per year. I did however say I would take 2 wks in August and a week at Christmas. I ended up taking 2 wks at Christmas because of how the stats worked out and all the families appreciated this anyways as they were going to do their family thing so it was nice to not have to pay for daycare.

This time in April was a surprise for them and I never entertained the idea before but thought what the heck is the point of being my own boss if I can't take time off to do something I want to do? I was actually OK if I lost a family as I am only doing this for the short term and don't want their needs to effect me in a way that I don't do what I want/need.

This is the first year I take 3 weeks at once, before I spread them over the year. Since we got a deal 8 months in advance I was able to inform parents with lots of time.

You need to take care of yourself. To be in your best during daycare hours you need to feel well. Enjoy your vacation!
