My DSS school sent a letter on Friday...three days before the end of term saying there is a residential costing £310 in October. My DH's ex forgot to tell us today which has meant us making a decision this morning. Apparently it can be paid in instalments over the hols but Aibu to think that unacceptably short notice? It's the end of July already. Surely a trip like this should be organised further in advance. I want my DH to contact the school and complain but he won't and it's difficult as all we get is a text from his ex saying my DSS really wants to go...money isn't an issue for her, or I suspect most of the parents at his school but we are really short at the moment... Feeling really cross!
