[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is he taking 5 weeks of vacation a year, and yet unable to watch his kids for any of it?

Many families use before and after care.  Or you could get an au pair, and have sick day/snow day coverage.

I think the question is whether you'd like to work.  [/quote]

I’m guessing a preplanned vacation works differently for his schedule than a random snow day. [/quote]

5 weeks vacation sounds like 1 week around Christmas/NewYears, 1 week Spring break, 2 weeks summer vacation and maybe give or take a long weekend or adding a day or two to the planned vacations I outlined. In all of those cases there’s lots of notice ahead of time.

He’s never in a position where he has an important meeting at 9am on Wednesday and his kid woke up with a fever at 7am.

OP here.  Yeah, his vacations are pretty much like that and since he has [b]such a high-powered job[/b], he takes every single bit of his vacation time, though he takes all 5 weeks as single weeks.  DH would also be annoyed if I was in a full-time job where I could not take his 5 weeks of vacation time.  He needs these vacations to offset the stress of his job.[/quote]
