[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids nanny will be going to her home country next month for 3 weeks.  She has 15 days vacation per year.  Two weeks of her choosing and 1 week we choose.  She works M-F, weekends off.  When she asked for approval we agreed to 3 weeks because she had not been home in a couple of years.  I asked family to help out and I am going to make it work.  We did say her 3rd week would be unpaid.  We told her we plan to travel over Christmas and that will be our week.

Last week she put in a request for 3 weeks in December (12/10-12/28).  I about fainted.  DH and I are very busy during this time.  It was a miracle I was able to piece together child care for her trip next month.  I told her it would not be possible for her to take off 3 weeks in December.  As a compromise I told her she could take 12/24-1/4.  She said that would not work for her and that she would gladly take the time unpaid.  I told her that was not the point.  I need her to be there before Christmas.  Our family is way to busy.  Now she is acting mopey.  I am starting to get mad.  I am not being unreasonable right???[/quote]

So she is taking off for three weeks in April (two weeks paid) and wants another 3 weeks off in December?

You are not being unreasonable at all, OP.  I am a nanny and I would never dream of even thinking about asking for that much time off.  [/quote]
