[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]30 days notice is absurd[/b].  I think you need to know if DC is leaving the country and otherwise it’s not your business.  No skipping school for travel without other parents consent, though.[/quote]

Why? Most travel arrangements are made months in advance, especially to get the cheap tickets, especially for traveling abroad. So if your children are leaving the state, you don't want to know? I'm not judging, I'm curious why you don't feel the need to be aware. [/quote]

Op back. I don’t make arrangements months in advance.  We tend to travel with long weekends in driving distance.  Yes, leaving the country is different, as I stated.  It doesn’t matter because if it’s on the other parents time, what difference does it make to hear it in advance?  I truly don’t understand your concern, likewise with which hotel. How does it matter?[/quote]

It's why I'm asking, I want to see if I'm being unreasonable. Personally, I feel somewhat more centered knowing where my kid is. If there's an emergency, I know where to go and what to do. It could be because I also just don't trust my ex. He lost DS in the woods and the police got involved one day. Luckily it was a short thing and the kid was safe, but ....And, I didn't know about it till they came back from the SW. Not SW Waterfront to the poster who thinks I need to be notified if they left DC to go have dinner in VA. Anyway, I couldn't have just hopped on a plane and retrieved him in that case, so rationally I realize being aware of this doesn't fix it. Yet somehow, not being aware of my kid's surroundings and environment worry me. So I feel safer knowing where he is and if his plane landed, etc. But if that's not the norm, that is also good to know. [/quote]
