Take your vacation with DH. Be prepared to lose that family, but honestly, I would not want to work with a family who didnt respect my need for family time too. 2 months is plenty of time for them to find alternative arrangements..
bump. Have a policy book and stick with it. I take two weeks of paid vacation and I have to pick these weeks according to what my husband can get for vacation weeks- he has to pick what weeks are available and everyone picks on a cycle of turns. We never know when our vacation weeks are going to be until the pick. We can hope but its done on fair rotating system. My parents have plenty of time to plan for our vacations and they all understand that I need family time too- I also need a steady income to be able to continue to do what I do.
