[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has all been over text? If you can call, do so, but I think I would text her back and say something like,

"I'm glad you're able to be with your mom at this difficult time. I hate to make this time any more stressful on you, but I do want to let you know that we're only going to be able to cover x #days of the time paid. I'm sorry about that, but we just can't afford more time plus back up coverage."

My guess is she'll text you back thanking you for the PTO and saying she understands.[/quote]

Honestly, giving her a full week off paid is generous and letting her know now that the 2nd week which she is choosing to take off is unpaid is probably better than waiting until after she gets back if she really may be assuming that it will be paid as well.[/quote]

+1. This is what we did and it was at a difficult time for us too- 3 weeks after birth of our third child.  DH was back at work, I was recovering, summertime and two toddlers running around, the newborn, and then I had to find and train up backup care. [/quote]
