[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are entitled to say no. You do not need to make up reasons why, beyond the most clear and obvious. "I'm sorry but I am not able to take on that level of 24/7 care. I'll be happy to help support whomever you find to come in and care for the kids, and I can be the emergency contact while you're away, but I cannot do the overnights. And I have plans for dates of XXX so I am unable to work those days." [/quote] This. Stop coming up with reasons that you think will sound more "reasonable." You aren't up to 24/7 care for any length of time. Period. Say so, and if you can't do 16 hour days while they're gone, tell them that, too. While you're at it, start looking for a new job. You have worked hard for this family, but you are clearly over it. Find something that you won't dread.[/quote]
