Hi Superstewardess.
The leave we need to have during the summer holidays is not to suit US, its to suit when the government say our children are on holiday. This, we cannot chose. I'm sure if we could pick and choose when our children had time off we wouldn't have this problem?? Unfortunately we'd get sent to Prison for taking our children out of school too much during term term!
Sorry to be a stickler, but i'm one of those people whom, before I had children would have quite happily taken my holidays whenever so that families could get holidays together. No skin off my nose. I think this is one issue that will never be resolved eh.
Regards.
