I'll bow to the collective wisdom of Mumsnet.
On my own last night as DH away. DD2 (22 months) was roaring cranky and up til about half ten, then up through the night. Couldn't settle DD1 (5) properly as kept having to see to DD2 and DD1 did not sleep well due to all the racket.
Cue this morning lots of tears and tiredness. So I made the decision to bring her in late and sent her back to bed for an hour. Rang the school absence line and explained the circumstances, that I didn't want to make a habit of it and she doesn't need a day off so I would bring her in once she was rested.
I actually didn't think twice about it. She is only five and has done pretty well with her baby sister. She has had school refusal issues which she has done brilliantly to overcome, but for that reason I didn't want to keep her off for the whole day. I've worked with the school and the school nurse on this and they are aware of her issues.
However. I mentioned it to two separate friends and both were and surprised that the school was ok with this. I'm not so sure they are as it happens. Now I'm totally questioning myself. I'm that mum aren't I?
