[quote=Anonymous]We choose which vacation weeks the AP can take and we tell her before even matching which two weeks they are (they are the same every year). In reality, she usually gets additional weeks off, since we often travel at the winter break and she is free to travel with us or not during those weeks. I don't feel bad for her as she accepted this as part of the terms of taking a match with our family. I understand that this may be inconvenient for her to schedule times to travel with other APs, but even if we didn't dictate the dates, she still may have a hard time finding a week that works well for 2 separate families (i.e., one family can't a certain week because the HD will travel that week) Realistically, the AP has her 13th month with which to see any part of the US that she didn't get a chance to see during the year. In addition, ours has almost every weekend free to do day trips (in our area, there are a ton of things to see on a day trip or overnight). I don't feel like my requiring her to take two specific weeks for her vacation will ruin her year here. [/quote]
