My husband and I have had a Disney vacation planned and paid for the the last year now for ourselves and most of my extended paternal family as well, like a family reunion. Anyway my husband took a new job about three months ago and now our vacation is next month and they "can't" give him the vacation time anymore .... He works nights in a warehouse BTW

Anyway, I know what we *should* do, but what would YOU do if it was your family and your vacation?? I can't imagine my husband skipping this vacation, but going and risking disciplinary action or possibly losing his job just.... Doesn't sound right. IDK what to do...

Thoughts? Ideas? Help?!

It would depend on how much you need the money.

I mean, I know we would be fine for a couple months and I even think he could get his old job back of he tried...

If thats the case go on vacation.

How long's the vacation? How were you planning to travel to/from?

There is no way i'd risk a job over a vacation that can be rescheduled or refunded   But that's mainly because SO really needs his job & we don't have anything to fall back on. We have bills & cars that need to be fixed. If you don't need the money & he doesn't want the job I say go for it

I go on vacation all the time with our LO without SO. His job isn't flexible with giving him time off and he would feel bad if we were to stay behind with him instead of going with family.
We usually leave the country.

Why don't you just go ahead and go without your SO.

Five days. We have flights booked for our family of five, plus my mom dad and sister, and two cabins in Disney World booked for four nights.

You should totally still go with your kids and have your family help. I went with my LO and family without SO this past August to DisneyWorld and it was an amazing trip for LO. He STILL talks about it.

I know my family will help but I just know he will be DEVASTATED if I ask him to stay home. He's a HUGE family man and he's been looking forward to doing this with our kids all year. He would be heart broken.   I just can't do that to him.

I know he would stay if I asked him but I just can't do that to him.

Can you go without your SO since you will also be going with family?
if not maybe plan a smaller day trip closer to home around the same time, so the kids can still feel like they did something?

I'd probably just go with my kids and have him meet us there for the last 2 days and call out sick at work.

If we could afford it and knew there was money and a job to fall back on- I would have him go. The job new about this it sounds like for months and there really is no reason they should be taking back the approval this late.

Plane tickets are not refundable as far as I know... And we've already paid for the cabin and won't get out down payment back either....

I know risking a job for a vacation sounds crazy but leaving my husband out of our Disney vacation just seems wrong...

If it was us.. Hubs would just go. Tell his boss to F off and he'd just go get another job. His boss shuts himself every time and just says ok have fun see you when you get back.. His boss can't afford to lose hubs, so it's really not a problem. Hubs can take when ever he wants off work.

Though he isn't an ass about it and has worked crazy hours all year last year and works over time for free.
