To go on holiday without kids?

I want to go skiing. Really as a family. Problem is DP doesn’t ski yet. Kids would be just turned 1 and just turned 4 in spring. So they would just be in ski crèche.

My latest idea is to do a 4 day midweek break. Leave the kids with grandparents. DP can learn how to ski.

This is potentially not the best for 1 yo. But would be heaven for the 4 year old.

If we wait until next year then we have reception/ school to contest with and I feel like we should be at home then as I don’t want grandparents having to get eldest to school.

Is this a bonkers idea?

Would anyone be surprised to know that @IAmThePrettiestManOnMyIsland aka Greengully is an ardent Reform supporter? I think not.

Judgment, inexperience and illogical. Yep, to be expected

You are odd aren't you ? So you're posting another posters political views now ? So: it's a free country. If she supports reform it looks like she'll be in good company - do you get out much ? They've quite a high percentage of votes. Regardless, we live in a democracy. People are allowed to vote for whoever they like! So she's not allowed an opinion nle because of who she votes for.

You're starting to sound like you have deeper issues to be honest. A darkness, if you will.

You have told MN threads about your very remote, unemotional husband who has a temper and doesn’t do anything to protect you from his toxic family.

and yet on here you are harping on about how children are young for so long and so important to make it all count

I’d say that you should be focussing a lot closer to home than on other parents taking a holiday without their children @CrispsPlease

Low blow, @Andprettygood . We should be capable of disagreeing without making it personal.
