Our vacation might be cancelled because of DH's job...

I am so upset. A guy just quit at DH's job and they were going to have him do DH's job while we were away for a week.

Now I don't think we can go. I am beyond upset right nowChat Icon I bought so much stuff for the trip and DH's whole family is going. I am even going to lose out on the hotel room because it is high season and they need 3 weeks advance notice to cancelChat Icon

Yea - but it isn't DH fault - they should have someone else cover for your DH.

I'm sorry, I understand your pain. I had to cancel my honeymoon because of DH's job. Everything will work out, hopefully someone else can fill in Chat Icon

Did you say before that your DH works for his dad? If it's a family business I understand them needing him to fill in. Doesn't mean that it doesn't stink though. Chat Icon

You are right. My FIL owns the business. After talking to DH I might still go with Andrew and drive up with my BIL. I feel awful but I really need a vacation. Plus we can't get out of the room anywayChat Icon

I understand exactly what you are going through. My DH also works in the family business and we've had plans canceled at the last minute. I used to say I wish he had a 9 to 5 job in a corporation so we could have a "normal life", but there are sooo many great opportunities that working for your family business affords you and I wouldn't change it for the world. But it does stink when things like this happen. You should go anyway, and maybe they can find someone to cover a few days and then your DH can meet you guys. Good luckChat Icon

I think they should at least compensate the money you are losing by taking away his vacation.Chat Icon

Ditto....especially if reservations are already made & CAN'T be cancelled without losing $$

It stinks that your DH might not be able to go. I would think though if the vacation was approved, he should be able to!

Either way, I would go with Andrew though so you don't loose out the $$ for the hotel
