[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my DD started K, back when the start was before Labor Day, she missed the Friday before and Tuesday after Labor Day for my brother's out of town wedding.  So she went to school Mon-Thurs of the first week, then missed two days, then was back for Wed-Fri of the second week.  It worked out fine.

Actually the same thing happened the next year when my cousin got married Labor Day weekend out west.  Maybe for my brother's she only missed Friday and for the cousin she missed Friday and Tuesday.  Either way, it worked out fine, but it wasn't the whole week and it was for events that we didn't have control over scheduling.

Your brother's wedding? Fine. Your cousin's wedding? You should have gone solo and left DH at home to get the kids to school. So dumb. [/quote]

You're the self-appointed arbiter of family wedding attendance decisions for anonymous DCUM posters?[/quote]

Yes. Do you have any other questions? [/quote]

Well, if it makes you feel any better, we didn't take my kids to Hawaii for my other cousin's wedding a year and a half later.  The kids were flower girls at both weddings that we missed school to attend.  Honestly, if I had it to do over I might not have taken them to the Colorado one because even with missing a couple days of school we didn't have time to adjust to the altitude and were all sick during the trip.  It was hectic and possibly not worth it.  I do remember how happy I was to land in DC after that weekend and breathe in the hot swampy air of our Nation's Capital. Ah, home again![/quote]
