[quote=Anonymous]My in-laws have a timeshare at a nice ski resort. We can’t afford a week at this resort right at the base of the mountain on our own - nor would it be my chosen activity. But they bought it before any of their kids had kids and they love it. We may go for a week in Feb next year when my oldest is in kindergarten. Not my preference and I generally feel like OP. My mom was a teacher so I grew up only going on vacations during school breaks anyway. Our school has a no homework until 3rd grade rule, so I will likely draw the line at missing school as 3rd grade as well. I will not let the kids “skip” school if they are behind grade level. I would definitely let the kids miss school for a family wedding or funeral - or extend winter or spring vacation to visit family overseas. In our case it is a totally optional ski trip for grandparents they see 8-10 times a year including a week at the beach. [/quote]
