[quote=Anonymous]We've done this before and it's been fine. Same as with your kid, ours no longer want to miss school due to how far it puts them behind (even just 1 day; so crazy!). We used to take them out of school for trips when they were younger and even in 6th & a bit in 7th grade. When our oldest was in 8th, she stopped doing the trips because of the workload from missing school. Our son still went on a few trips, but he stopped around 8th grade as well. They usually each stay with a good friend for a week or 2 while we're gone. We reciprocate with the family as well. Sometimes it'll just be us taking their kid for a few long weekend trips and giving the parents a gift card for a nice dinner out. Sometimes it's us watching their kid for a week or two while they travel. [/quote]
