To contact my mums work?

[Fauxpauxoraok]

Hi, just wondered if this is an odd thing to do or not?
Id like to take my mum on holiday as it’s her 60th and she’d never let me pay for it usually, so I need it to be a surprise.

The problem I have is she works 1 or 2 days a week for a school. She is contracted/paid but it’s very random!

Would it be really odd/embarrassing if I emailed and said I’d like to take her away on x dates and would this be ok?

She only works 1-2 days a week and schools have plenty of time off. Book your holiday in the holidays or if it has to be in term time, do a shorter trip.

Thanks all, very split so I think I wont do it, just incase.

She doesn’t get paid for the holidays, she’s ad hoc and it’s just when they need her but normally 1/2 days a week. I’d be looking at a Thursday - Tuesday so she could do two days easily either week it would just be that she couldn’t for those days so they’d probably want a note not to book her. I’ll just tell her that I want to do it and hope she accepts and doesn’t end up feeling guilty and booking/paying for it herself, which she always does!

This.
