Is 2 weeks notice acceptable for holiday?

[Oftheage]

DSS's mother asked my partner if she could take DSS away on holiday for a week abroad, with 2 weeks notice (which is over my partner's weekend) and also take DSS out of school for 5 days. My step-son is 8.

What are people's thoughts on this?

How does your partner feel about getting a fine as he will do if the school decide to fine him.

Absolutely this with bells on.

how do you know mum isn’t blocking it?

A request is more respectful than a demand.

Enjoy your weekend together and hope little one has a fabulous holiday.

@Kittykatmeowzers what makes you jump to that conclusion? There are a lot of assumptions made here..... which seems odd. Didn't OP say there's no issues?

Why is it becoming a big deal for someone to do an extra EOW personally I think its laughable giving that we are talking about the minium time anyway.

OP hasn't said any where that mum has form for booking holidays last minute or expecting others to change plans to accommodate her it sounds like a 1 off.

Fair enough if mum was taking advantage constantly but OP has not said that so I'm not sure why you are assuming.

@Flowersun6
that wasn’t what I replied to - I was replying to you and PP having a go because the boyfriend doesn’t have more than EOW with DC.
you don’t know the reasoning behind it, none of us do and it’s not what the OP was about

I'm certainly not having a go. I'm just reading through facts. The assuming is coming from you and others and it's coming across negatively.

OP mentioned mediation quite clearly OP partner has resolved the matter through mediation with mum because if not it would have gone to the courts and a legal C.A.O would have be drawn up.

To be fair OP isn't even the parent so I'm not sure what she wants from this thread.

It's totally acceptable. For reference, my SDs mother never used to ask or notify DH. she just used to do it and tell him the day before that his contact wouldn't be happening.
