I’m guessing that you and your wife are seperated? Otherwise you’d be asking her rather than us?
Heh! No, we’re happily married etc … When I said ‘my kids’ in my original post I really should’ve said ‘our kids’.
The London trip thing is more than just a whim as there are friends from Brazil visiting us & then going to stay with some other friends in London … but this still doesn’t necessitate the school absence.
This is our first child in school, and she’s from Brazil where the attitude to schooling seems extremely relaxed, so she doesn’t see any issue whatsoever with missing a few days ‘just because’
i.e. we both have totally opposing opinions
I was just wondering whether I was being too stubborn on the subject.
From the comments thus far I don’t think I’m being unreasonable.
