[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha ha.  "Sometimes these vacations are more meaningful than school."  No they're not -- [b]kids barely remember vacations taken at that age.[/b]  You're not taking your young kids on vacation and away from school for them, you're doing it for you and because it works better for you.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it.  But own what you're doing. [/quote]

...and you think they are going to remember those few days of school?

In the early Elementary grades I think this is fine. Mine are in 2nd and 5th now and [b]we are pulling them out for a special vacation in May because that’s when DH is visiting from overseas and it’s the only time that works[/b]. Not saying I would want to do this regularly, certainly not as my kids are getting older but certainly in K or first grade there is absolutely no reason that missing a few days of school will matter in the big picture.

Again, you're doing it for you and not for them.  It's ok.  Own it.  [/quote]
