Oh Geeze. Sorry about the dashed plans it’s almost like a why bother thing. Sighunderstand the idea of frugality but why not go back on Tuesday? Because they don't want the children to miss school.
When my DS was in school I’d take him out whenever I wanted. People would say “but he’s going to miss so much school” and my answer every single time was “He’s MY kid, and I’ll take him out whenever I darn well please”. Come to find out later the schools don’t want to let you take them out because they get paid per student per day from the state.
