Last year I found that I tried to help out with as many as dsd school holidays dates as I could given both her mum and dad don't get paid leave as such. However when it got to holidays I couldn't do (didn't want to use the start of this years annual leave for the end of this school year as we are away two weeks in summer) dsd mum insisted that the rest of the holidays were split equally cost wise for childcare. This sounds fair but to me I obviously felt that I'd saved both parents quite a bit of money and this should have been taken into account as my dp helping with a percentage of holidays
So this next year I have decided not to book annual leave to cover holidays and try to get them to split it 50/50. Then if I happen to be off I can have her but it's not specifically for that.
If you split 50/50 do you plan for the whole year between parents? Or just take the holidays as they come?
