[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi,

So we have an international family wedding in a few months. They have Monday and Tuesday off as holidays tgag week so he would need to take wed-Friday off and then we couldn’t fly back until Monday. It’s in Asia so across the world. Which means he would go right back to school on Tuesday after a day and night time difference.

He really doesn’t want to miss 4-5 days of school as he feels he gets behind even with 1-2 days. And he wouldn’t have any real recovery time before going back to school after flying back…

Has anyone done this before? We are thinking that it’s too much for a week anyways, and maybe better for just one parent to go alone instead of with kids.

But is 4-5 days too much in AAP?  [/quote]

Your kid doesn't even want to go.  I don't get the question?

Are you asking if you should force your kid to go to a wedding on the other side of the world for people he barely knows?  
And have him adjust to a 12 hour time zone difference twice in just over a week?
While missing 3 days of school when they are not really crushing their academic game?

If there is nobody to leave h8im with then one of you has to stay. [/quote]

OP here. This my son’s cousin’s wedding. He knows him very well. And if it wasn’t school, he really wanted to go. But we have made the decision that only my husband will go. It’s too stressful for my son and also just overall. Too stressful for a week. We have a younger one too and it would totally mess up her schedule as well. Thx for the feedback. [/quote]
