[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the article quickly yesterday. From what I recall, I think the author missed the boat by not mentioning the reason many two-income families, including mine, don't take summer vacations - the number of school days off. People have no leave left between illnesses and the many school breaks and days off. [/quote] Bingo! Much easier to arrange for summer camps then the occasional professional devt days and weeklong breaks[/quote] +1 And there are more professional days/fake snow days now for local school systems then there were in the 1980s. Of course parents are going to burn their leave covering these days. And as someone pointed out, there is no longer a default SAHP to cover all the sick days. (Generalizing like the article did) In the 80s for many families, dad’s vacation time was just used for vacation. Mom took care of all days the kids were off. [/quote]
