My ex has informed me she wants to take our 2 daughters overseas to visit family for the month of June. Daughters are in SK and Gr. 2. I don't like the idea and have said as much, because
1) I don't think they should miss a month of school
2) Though I have not seen it in writing, I understand there is a board policy stipulating more than 15 days for an unexcused absence puts their enrollment in French immersion at risk.
3) I don't want to go 4 (potentially 5) weeks without seeing my daughters.
4) According to our SA signed two years ago, ex was to be working full time by now.
I have responded outlining 1,2,3 above, suggesting 2 weeks as more appropriate.
Ex is insistent that they go for a month, saying it is too much money for just two weeks, and that the cost per ticket increases substantially in the summer.
Any advice on how to deal with this. Is a month too long based on 1,2,3?
