Unfortunately that is how some families are. First thing you need to do in your business is to start putting yourself first and not worry about what the families think. It is hard I know. I rarely take holidays either but I have started taking more during the year. I am up to about 10 days off a year although they are never in a row. I like to add them onto the long weekends during the summer. This year I have every second Friday off.

Unfortunately we need to keep our heart out of our business and just save it for the kids. I have bent over backwards for some families only to have them give their 2 weeks notice and leave, no thank you, no card, nothing.

Feel free to vent to us on here, it will help make things feel better.
