Actually she wants to go back to her country (where we are going less than a week later) in order to surprise her friends who don't know she's coming. Since the ticket has been purchased there's now nothing I can do. But I'm not pleased and I am going to have a serious chat with her and likely expect her to do more work while we are there on vacation.[/quote]

Wow.  That is bold and clearly it was courtesy "ask".  She was going no matter what.
That would piss me off a lot more than the original (now appears to be bullshit) request.
I would be very, very annoyed.[/quote]

I mention in my handbook that the AP must get approval from me before making any travel purchases.  If not, and her request is denied, then it is the AP's responsibility for any losses or change fees.  I am generous in many ways but I put my foot down when it comes to a lack of accountability to her commitment to put her childcare work above her personal desires when there is a conflict of schedules.  They are on notice about clearing all travels first (not a "courtesy" ask but an "approval" ask, otherwise they can suffer the consequence such as losing their money.  [/quote]
