DD is 14, year 9. She's just had a message off her best friend to say she won't be in school today as her mum is taking her and her younger sister to the beach for the day. Que DD saying how cool the mum is and how unfair it is that I never let her miss school for fun stuff. I've got to work and even if I didn't I still wouldn't let her do it.
YABU-its a beautiful day, one day off school won't make a difference
YANBU-school is important and you can't skive off just because the weathers nice.
AIBU?
Thoughts on taking your DC out of school to enjoy the sunshine?

I've done this many times (although not for the beach). I wouldn't tell anyone though as I tell school she was unwell.

No chance. I think it’s almost impossible to do this as a genuine one-off (why not next time it’s hot/snowy?) so I don’t understand that argument at all…
