Would you pull your kids for special time the rest of the week before starting a new job/no PTO?

K and 1st - absolutely yes. Jr high - prob not or 1 day. HS - no.

Core memories in the making. So fun! I regret no days I pulled my kids from school. Even in HS we do a day or two a year to extend a weekend or break. Honors/A students and it’s not been an issue.

I would absolutely pull them. Cabin seems kind of lame. I personally would do something better but you do you.

It remains weird to me that you had to crowdsource this.

Unfortunately yes. I also realized I don't even have coffee and there's no delivery services here (first world problems I know, but I haven't slept)
