[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many private schools were on break all last week as well as this week. What I would give for a 2 week break with my spouse and kids only!

Similar to your SIL, I live near my parents and see them 1-2x a week. And yet - we fly back from spring break a day early every year to have Easter dinner with them. I would love to give up that tradition and just enjoy my full vacation. I don’t think I’ll declare “this is the last Easter”. I think we’ll just say “these are the flights we could get” and repeat as needed. [/quote]

This.  Many friends who have kids in private have two weeks off at end of the year and so much is closed their kids aren’t missing practice etc (which can happen in the summer).  Most of those friends go away over Christmas because that’s really the only time especially with older kids they can get two weeks off without missing a practice or some such thing. They can go to Europe or somewhere and don’t have to rush back.  My kids go to public so I don’t get those two weeks, but I get it and would love it as my kids get older.  I can see once kids get into sports or certain activities they might not be able to get two weeks off in a row (and even with parents vacation).

OP be compassionate.  If they live locally and see your mom frequently j don’t see the issue.  [/quote]
