[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and the month-long trip is not an annual thing, but rather every couple of years. As for the other trips, her DH is a bit older than she is, and is semi-retired. They want to be able to take a couple of 1-2 week trips per year together.[/quote] This is completely reasonable. Make it work out for your children.[/quote] MB here and I disagree that this is reasonable. So every other year she expects to take a one-month vacation, and every year an additional three weeks off? Three weeks I think is all right especially if she is willing to coordinate with you on timing. But a month on top of that is excessive, IMO. If you are planning to keep her even somewhat long-term, I would not look forward to having to deal with this situation again in two years. Part of what makes a great nanny is reliability and not making excessive demands on employers. And great nannies are not as hard to find as some people suggest. [/quote]
