100 pc agree with this. Bayting them into school every day is a waste of if they have the option to stay home. Covid buried the myth that they are missing out on anything by missing the odd day here and there or even going on holidays in term time.

School is the best place for them, getting them into the habit of handy days off for no particular reason isn’t ideal.

Sing 2 was our lass’s first trip to cinema. She loved it and I play the songs from the two Sing movies for her the whole time (thankfully she likes the originals too so it’s got her listening to a bit of Prince, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.).

I took her to see the Minions in summer and she didn’t like it because there were too many “bad guys” and not enough Minions having “craic” (her current favourite word)

By the time this lot come out AI will be doing everything. Leave em have a day off, they’ll need to be used to it

My one is the same, but she loves Sing 1 & 2, and the Minions movies. There are some “scary” parts in minions, but it’s mostly done in a silly way.

The Trolls movie was the bane of my life there for a while. Tis similar but has a bit more scary stuff

We went to see Santa yesterday evening and they had some Hurdy Gurdies. I mentioned I’d go up on the highest one. We were in the car park at the time so nowhere near it but Missy went bonkers. Mrs Hunt said she went similarly nuts during the summer when I went in to the sea for a dip. We realised then. When we got to it she started dragging at me. Told her it was ok I wouldn’t go. She asked could she go on it.

I agree with that generally but missing a day or two makes literally no difference and I certainly don’t think people should feel guilty for it or even for missing a week at the end of term for a holiday. If there are mental health issues or special needs involved especially miss the day, fuck the loss. I’ve changed my view on this over the years definitely.
Obviously missing a lot of time is very bad for children

Kids often don’t want to be in school for various reasons but I’m convinced that 90% of the time it’s the best place for them

I’ve no problem with people taking holidays etc during term time or erring on the side of caution with illness but just allowing them the odd day off for no reason is a slippery slope I’d say

Schooling is about conformity, group think, and eradicating individuality. Youre right to take the odd day to do something that encourages independent thought… Letting them stay in the sctratcher for the day wouldn’t be best practice.

He should set them to doing their own research on Facebook to become an independent thinker like you.

Facebook? Is that still open? But you’re right, he’ll have flakes like you crying all day with a simple post. Hell of a future to have.

99% I’d say.

Just you all wait.
I was in the bathroom this morning when herself came in with an item of skimpy underwear (bra thing)
“How the fuck did this get in the washing basket, it’s not mine”
“Er, I think it’s your daughter’s”
“Oh I think you’re right”
Even worse, it wasn’t even underwear, it was outerwear.
I’m not sure I wouldn’t rather have been caught tbh.
