I'm curious what people's opinions are about this.
DD gets her A level results this week. I have had the date in the calendar for months and ensured that the day was clear. I know DD might disappear off to the pub or whatever and probably won't need us but I wanted to ensure I'd be around to celebrate / support / whatever is necessary.
Someone I know is going on holiday this week, without their 18 year old, leaving them to get their results by themselves.
To me, this seems really awful. However, DD is our only. We both work in education so can be around. It might well be that I am the weird one for being so involved! When I got mine, my mum was at work, fair enough, so I called her to tell her my results and then we went out for a meal that evening.
I just wondered if anyone else would book a holiday for the week their child gets results.
