I have finally(for the first time in 9 years!)taken all of my holidays in the contract. I just felt I needed a break, and took most of the Xmas school break off. My clients were so understanding, and most were off anyways.
So I have a vacant spot for daycare, and the phone is ringing off the hook. I have designated this time to be "business-free" to spend with my own kids, as hubby doesn't get time off except for the stats.
They all want interviews during my holidays, and I don't feel that I have to give up my holiday time with my kids to do this. Is this selfish, or are all of you in "business-mode) 24/7? People seem offended that I won't do this. What difference does a week make, when they need care a few months from now? None of these people need care now. Thoughts????
