Should I take time off?

Yes you should. Actually, you seem like you could use a break. :)

He doesn't have the right to take away what you have earned, but he can take away or change what you get in the future.  Time off is a benefit and benefits can come and go as an employer sees fit.  \n\nTaking away your time isn't a smart move on his part, but something he can do.

At my company, they allow 10 sick days off on a 12 month revolving scale. When you take a day off, you either tell your supervisor ahead of time or call in by 9:00 AM to let them know you won't be in. You don't need to be sick, it can be a personal day, and the supervisor doesn't need to know why. Many people get into trouble with this though. They take too many personal days for fun, and when they really get sick, they don't have enough days to cover the illness, doctors visits, blood tests etc.

It's ok to take breaks at first, but make sure to take them only after you have sufficiently challenged yourself, not just because you began to feel tired.  I would try to go a little longer each workout or taking shorter breaks each time until you don't have to anymore.  Most doctors will tell you that it's good to keep your heart rate up and active for at least half an hour while working out.

Stay busy and take more time out for yourself

Hell, yes! But only because I don't like my job right now.  Besides, I'd like some time off to go see the world and have the vacation of a lifetime using the money I just won.  Plus, I'd need time to study different types of investment so that the whole load won't just go down the drain.\n\nHowever, that doesn't discount the possibility that I may get a job again after all that.  There's a certain fulfillment and sense of accomplishment when you have a job that you do well and enjoy doing.

you should ask your doctor and if it's not right you should take day off of workand ask someone to take care of you.

You will need to have a break completly. Do you have parents or are the father's parents willing to take them for a weekend or so?

I agree with Jack.  Personally, I would quit.  However, you state that you both like your jobs, and financially it might not be an option.\n\nTHere must be times when 2 people take time off - such as around the holidays.  So, there is a precedent.\n\n\nYour manager is being awful, indeed.  There is absolutely no misconduct.  Is there a human resources manager / department in your company?  I would speak with them.  If there is no such thing, perhaps you can speak with your manager's manager or the owner of the company. \n\nYou should also put your request in writing and "inform" him that you are taking the time off.  Don't ask for it, tell him -- "This is to inform you that I will be away from the office and on vacation from  xx/xx/06 to xx/xx/06.  Should you need during my absense, please don't hesitate to ask for my assistance in training a coworker, yourself or temporary employee prior to the start of my vacation."\n\nLeave a paper trail, and don't put anything rash in writing.

Okay, there's no easy answer to this one.  As a Human Resources Director, let me say the following.\n\nIf you are able to perform the duties of the job in full with your current injury, and a doctor is willing to put as much in writing, there is no legal basis for requiring you to take time off.  \n\nA demotion would be out of line legally and ethically.  You are protected under a federal law (Family Medical Leave Act - FMLA).  If YOU feel you need the time off, I'd make sure he knows that you are taking time off under your rights with FMLA.  \n\nI would strongly encourage you to get your employer to put in writing that they are mandating the time off, and that as a result they are considering a demotion.  \n\nThe Department of Labor is there to help with situations like this, so I would call and make an official complaint with them (though you should know your employer will be very unhappy to hear from DOL, and even though they're not supposed to retaliate, they may try to in underhanded ways).  \n\nIn addition to all this, I hope that you are being covered under your employer's worker's compensation insurance.  They should be paying for any lost time the doctor is mandating, if they are.  I'd be happy to give more information if you need it.

Camp is a blast.  They want you to go so that you can have a fun, positive experience this summer.  Of course they love you and who knows...you may wind up with a little brother or sister in the bargain.  Parents also need time away ;)

If you are asking us this question you already know the answer.  You are asking for confirmation.  Yes you need to take some time off.  It sounds like you have been very very busy and as all moms know we need to take a break and just be a mom!\nYou will finish your schooling and your kids will be happy and better yet you will be happy as well.\n\nSmile!!

No.  Stick it out.  It's no fun to skip on the last day.  This is the day to chat and hang out and just be with your friends before they all go off on vacation.
