[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, I take all these points - but I don't think the piling on is fair. I shouldn't have booked camps without staking my own claims but since I left 5 weeks open, I thought I was safe. August has only been an issue for last year and this one.

And for the record, I don't undervalue the local sibling's role as the point person for our father. Not for a second. And yes I spend part of our trip visiting him.

I posted here precisely because I don't want to be a PITA. [b]If I hadn't been in a meeting when my brother chose to start the scheduling, I would have been able to claim time before others did.[/b] As it is, all I've done at this point is asked whether the siblings who staked claims to dates have any flexibility. Now I have to decide whether to be pushier or just walk away.

I really do appreciate all the input here, especially on the suggestions for how to deal with the schedule in the future.

As a separate issue, I think sending an email and leaving it as a "whoever responds first gets what they want" free-for-all is pretty unfair. You guys should agree that scheduling weeks is done at an agreed upon time when you can have a group conversation. It shouldn't just be whoever responds to an email first.

But again - why is everyone vying over the same weeks when there's a whole summer to work with?[/quote]
