Coworker wants my vacation days for her kids’ dream vacation

A coworker wants to use my vacation days for her kids, but I’ve been saving them up for a big trip. She’s arguing that because I don’t have children, I don’t need as many days off. However, I don’t think it’s fair for her to ask me to sacrifice my plans. She’s upset and says I’m ruining her kids’ dreams. What do you think? Is it fair for her to ask me for my vacation days? Should I give them to her? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
