[quote=Anonymous]Another thing I've seen, both in one of my APs and also in previous posts on APMOM is that some families will schedule an AP to work on a holiday in order to "force" her to be part of the family on that day. In our experience, if she wasn't on duty, she made other plans...so if we wanted her to celebrate DD4's birthday with us, she had to be on duty! Personally, it got to the point that if it was a family holiday (Christmas, Easter, Tgiving) I didn't care if she showed up because she was quite unpleasant to be around (it's apparently really tough being paid to sit and eat with our family) but when it came to the kids birthday, I put her on the clock because they wouldn't understand why she didn't care enough to show up. So I understand why some HPs schedule every single hour at times. Each case is different and each family has it's own dynamic and each HP/AP relationship it's own issues. As long as you're within the rules, who is to judge?[/quote]
