To not send my children to school because I need to fly ?

I have to fly tonight and my kids have been left with my mum, she lives two hours away. Is it ok that they don’t go to school or am I a terrible parent for picking work over the kids?

I’m confused, why does you working and then staying with your mum mean they don’t go to school?

Does your mum live in another town or is there some other reason why she can't take them to school?

Why can't your mum take them to school? Their education matters as much as your work does.
