[quote=Anonymous]What are you struggling with agreeing about?

If it's "DH takes all sick leave until we have an equal amount" then I don't blame him for struggling. If it's "DH takes on more of the responsibility, but we still adjust based on job and personal needs" then I don't understand the struggling.

Some jobs are more flexible than others. That has to be taken into account.
Some work culture is more flexible than others. That has to be taken into account.

When you're in the red, I'd work as if you have no leave available. Because you don't. If he has no leave available and you have no leave available, then you discuss who can go into the red. But he shouldn't be sitting on a week of leave while you have none, unless there is something about your jobs or workplaces that require this.

I don't think you need equal amounts of leave available. I do think it's important that you are able to save up vacation for vacation, assuming he is able to do similar.

He may need to be reminder that you burned your allowances down to 0 when you had the baby. The baby's new, there's adjustment. [/quote]
