[quote=Anonymous]1. No it’s not sustainable for your husband to drive an extra 1.5 hours each way and for you or you and he both to cut your work hours. It’s not just PTO, you really can’t habitually leave 1-2 hours early or arrive 1-2 hours late in a management position. How many days has your husband been doing this? He needs to tell his dad that he can’t do this and stay employed. You guys could try to find a temporary nanny to pick your daughter up from daycare which would preserve your job but your husband will still have issues.

Options for your FIL a he drives himself b hire a driver c another relative or d hotel or airbnb. His preferences, even during a time of grief, don’t over ride your need to be employed.

2. Vacation. It is what it is. He can’t really tell you whether she will recover, not recover etc. April is still more than a month away. You already bought the tickets so there isn’t much you can do. You and your husband should talk through different scenarios what the two of you want to do. Don’t seek FILs permission, blessing or whatever to go on vacation. [/quote]
