About once a month, typically on a nice day, we let our kids stay home from school. We usually take them out to the zoo or museum or to the park. Sometimes I just take them to ihop and the movies. Just to spend some time with them as a family because doing anything after school is impossible and on the weekends it's difficult. I would only do this this if they haven't missed a day for any reason and if they don't have any tests or shows or anything important that day. They are good smart kids. My daughter already meets the criteria to advance in grade and my son is in preschool and I teach him more at home anyways. Am I wrong for this? I was thinking about taking them to the park tomorrow and teaching them how to ride a dirt bike. I got the bike in January for my son and it's suppose to be like 60 tomorrow. They been fiendin to go riding.

Nope. Enjoy them while they're young they won't be that size forever.

Some people are going to say you're teaching them not to obey authority and systems blah blah blah but fukk that. As long as it isn't affecting their academics and the school hasn't noticed a pattern nothing wrong with this.

My only wonder is how this works with work? Haven't you're employers noticed your taking a day off every month ?

I think we need more parents like you that do things as a family...as a collective...we as black people are a collective people...no isolation; by doing this, you are making your children stronger so I congratulate you and tell you to please keep doing these things as a family

Exactly, children are only that young for a very short time so I like the idea of black families building memories and activities during that time.

After school and work everyone's tired, weekends are over crowded. I see nothing wrong with the odd day off for fun :ehh:

don't see what the big deal is

Seems like your children are excelling in school. I see nothing wrong with it, its beneficial and i think the time you spending with them further building that rapport is something they are definitely going to value, now and as they grow other.

I'm kinda unemployed right now but my girl works a few days outta the week and the weekends
But when I was working I was able to take as many days off as I wanted, no questions asked

I'm not black but yeah.

Is there any reason why the weekend is out of question?

It's not totally out of the question but my girl works long hours on the weekend and that's usually when we run around doing errands plus I hate going places that's crowded. During the week, it's much easier and cheaper

Then you're good breh. This is a good idea. I'm engaged at the moment and I'm gonna start family soon but I've always wondered when I'd get to spend time with them. I don't get home till 8pm which I'm guessing they'll sleep by and I fukking hate weekends cos shyts too crowded.

This is a really good idea which I think I'm gonna do :ehh:
