Luckily my husband has ample vacation time at his job (8 weeks, I think), plus he works off-hours so somehow earns an extra day of time off every two weeks, so he's often able to stay home for fun days with us. <br /><br />Enjoy!IrishNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06812442733783210826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7753223694881775789.post-64932180892072001762010-06-20T00:35:21.397+01:002010-06-20T00:35:21.397+01:00What the hell.

My grandsons' Papa dag is also on Thursdays.<br />My day - 'Grandma dag' (I refuse to be called 'Oma') is now on Wednesday (used to be tuesday and wednesday) - but I don't get paid for it... I know I could though. Here in Holland parents can make a claim to the government for a 'grandparent child-care' subsidy. But for just one day a week (?) I'll continue to do it for love!!<br />Mango is going to treasure her Thursdays. Just watch that wriggling and smiling go up a notch when she realises she has her Papa all to herself for a whole day!

I have a very liberal employer (one of the states), who lets us stock up our sick time (7.5 hours per month, as much as you'd care to hoard), vacation time (within limits), and holiday time (acquired from already having a 4 day work week). In addition, I was able to work part time for a year (at reduced pay, of course), so in total I was off of work for almost 15 months. Well, I'd go in for 20 hours about every other week. It was heaven.<br /><br />You will so enjoy your extra daddy time!
