Parents disagree with 6 months travel with kids...neep advice.

[Plummonkey88]

We plan to take our kids 9&6 out of school for 5/6 months to travel.

There will the the summer holidays, Easter and other bank holidays within this time and it woulda put about 45 days they will miss.

We are not at the stage to tell my parents, but I know when the time comes they will disagree.

We are a close family and they help alot with our kids, but they are also old school and won't understand.

I know it should just be a case of me saying this is what we're doing, but I just feel that they are going to put a real damper on it and say it's wrong and we shouldn't be doing it.

Any advice from any parents who's kids have done this, or how you would feel if your kids done it would be much appreciated.

Also, to mention my kids are doing great at school and I would look to do bits and bobs with them during the time away.

If you are old enough to have children of that age you are old enough to make decisions yourself for the welfare of your children.
your parents made decisions about your life, they have no say over the lives of YOUR children.

You mean my sister's children? In England.

Not quite the same as we only went away for just under 9 weeks, but DD did have a touch of home sickness - she was very upset one day when she couldn't remember what her bedroom looked like. And she did miss her cousins and friends. But other than that she really enjoyed the time away - she was nearly 8, and has very clear memories. Enjoy!

How much will you be fined?
