    @Cativelense seems like there are two issues.
    1. vacation coverage. You company affords both of you generous time off. If your co-worker agrees it's unmanageable, then the two of you should be able to present a united front to management. We need this. Period. Let the co-worker lead the conversation if he is the favored son. Be supportive of "his" request, no emotions, no passion, simple facts that present a business case that benefits the company & attains your goal.

    2. Trust. If people willingly disbelieve your answers, then you need to study how your co-worker gives the same answer. You are both giving the same message, but people believe him & not you - then you need to study the delivery & the packaging of that same answer. Watch/listen/read how the co-worker is packaging his answers, there is some simple variation. Figure that out & you'll feel respected & your job becomes a lot more enjoyable.
    Have you done any management reading? Something like Dale Carnegie How to Win Friends & Influence People. Book has its issues, but there are some solid concepts in it. Figuring out who you are talking to is huge in presenting a message they believe & understand.
    How to Win Friends & Influence People: Dale Carnegie: 8937485909400: Amazon.com: Books
    There are hundreds of books out there, this one the granddaddy. Invest in yourself.

    Think about how much continuing education your wife has to do in her job. How much continuing education have you allowed yourself? I really think you can grow yourself out of the problems at your job while remaining in your job. A slight shift in perspective & the decision that you are worthy of the staying on the path that leads you from the swamp to the mountain top view.

    Think of it like you are off-roading. Say you are 4x4ing with a group you are new to. You get stuck at the base of the trail in some mud hole. Your wheels are spinning, you are covered in mud. The guys you're with are watching & laughing but no one will wade into the mud to help winch you out or even toss their brand-new equipment into the mud for you to grab. That's you in your job now.
    What are you going to do? Keep spinning tires & demanding help?
    At some point in this circumstance, you need to decide to dive into the mud, get some rocks or branches & build your road out of the mud, or buy one of the other guys' tow straps & snatch block & haul yourself out. When you're out, you've got new skills, you're a mess & you continue up the hill because after all the crap you went through, you're dang well gonna see that mountain top view.
    ...and if someone happens along that isn't part of this group who offers to winch you out - you jump ship - let them help you out (that's finding a different job & leaving).

    Maybe you fix your job by improving your equipment - learn some messaging skills, get the company to properly cover time off, or an agreement with the coworker to not take more than 5 days off in a row.
    Maybe you find a better job.
    But try to fix what your current situation is. You asked the company to fix it for you & nothing happened. You haven't left, so there is -something- there you like (pay, benefits, something). So, try changing you. Study the co-worker & figure out what his 'tricks' are & adopt some of them.

    (And where's the downtime? You're running at work; you're running at home. When do you get to turn off, set still & think?) You got this man!

    If your off-roading with a group like this, never go with them again.

    in my post i was suggesting they remained watching him flounder & offered no help, amused at his suffering. You know, like his office does to him every time his co-worker is on vacation.
