[quote=Anonymous][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]

Hi OP,

just sharing my experience.  We travel a lot internationally with the kids and used to take them out of school for these trips for 3-4 days.  It's totally fine in elementary.  But in 8th grade my AAP son said he could feel the consequences of missing a few days and said we shouldn't do it any more.

OP here. Agree. Have decided to not. Too much stress for him and frankly even for myself and adjusting younger one to time gap etc in such a short time. Nothing fun about it. [/quote]

You made a right decision. 
Asked your husband to facetime the event… so your son is not missed it… plus its save alot :)[/quote]
