OK, I don't want this to be a 'right or wrong' post really so please no-one 'shoot the messenger' or anyone else
But, I just wondered if many of you take your children out of school to visit DLRP? I ask because my DD1 starts school next September and I've read so many comments about DLRP being a scrum in school holidays etc that to me personally I don't think it would be so magical. There's also the increased cost to consider I guess...
We've only done one trip and are thinking about Jan (I really want to see the Christmas decs!) but tbh I haven't been too well and not sure I'm up to a trip then. So we are then thinking about early May but someone said the French kids are off then so who knows! I just know I'd like to go back at least once before DD1 starts school!
If you do take them out of school do your children mind? I, for one, hated missing school (swot!) and although I'd have loved the holiday, I would have worried what I was missing as a child and then as a parent I'd worry what the school thought etc. I believe they are v strict these days on holidays in school time??
Thanks for any answers/advice
PS - Almost makes me wish we'd discovered DLRP much earlier - we did plan a visit for DD1's second bday but people put me off at the time saying she was too young/wouldn't enjoy it etc
