[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Your husband is in his 60s, and still "indispensable" on the front line of a pool company?  Hmmm.

2. Your kids have the right to change their minds more than a year in advance.

3. Vacations in the same spot for decades? Torture, OP, torture.

4. You do not have priority. "Tradition" is meaningless. [/quote]

ancillery to this post, but #1 tells us a lot about the people in this area and understandings of how businesses work.  facepalm, facepalm, facepalm[/quote]

Yep! And the labor shortage is no joke! OP’s husband would probably love some trustworthy reliable subordinates but they don’t grow on trees. Every service company is struggling for workers - I’m not sure how anyone could have missed that.[/quote]

This trip is for summer of 2023, no?  We have literally no idea what the labor market will be like then.[/quote]

Presumably this adult man who has run his own pool company for decades knows well his own summer schedule and availability, yes?[/quote]
