For the last 7 schooldays my DD1's best friend has not been going to school as his mum says that he is not well and has a fever.
But on the dot of 4pm everyday he has been playing outside until well past 8pm!
Today, her two secondary school DCs and two primary school DCs have been home and AGAIN as soon as 4pm comes round they are all out there.
Ok maybe by 4pm she has had enough of them, but they don't look ill to me.
She has lots of friends who could take the "well" kids to school, and the older ones catch the bus anyway.
AIBU in thinking "Why are you messing around with your kids education?", if other people just wanted one day off we have to jump through hoops to get it.
Did manage to speak to DD1's friend last week and he just said "We can't be bothered with school".
When i was younger my Mum would make me stay in bed ALL day if i was unwell.
