School trip

[Mumsmet]

My dc is going on a school trip in the next fortnight and I am really worried - I do not want dc to go on the trip, fly without me etc. We are not allowed contact for the whole trip which I find rather ridiculous. Of course, I get why the school has the policy to stop the children texting home saying that they are homesick. However, how many adults would go away without their phones/ access to email. I am terrified about the airport, even after recent events.

Also, it will also be very hot in Southern Spain.
The worry is making me poorly. I literally want to sob, and I woke up having a panic attack.

Hello. Yes, agreed re phones and homesickness and on other residential trips dc had no phone.

Really, my issue is probably simply that with all the stressful things going on at the moment I just find it all so much easier and I feel so much happier when dc is with me.

I think it's going to be harder on you than him. Children are very resilient and will be so busy getting on with the fabulous things he'll have to do. You're the one who will be behind and feel the gap. Hugs

Thank you

Update: DC had a great time and I was fine.
