Lithuania? Is she crazy? …. Well, I guess if they are with their aunt, they should be fine. I would have a hard time sending children that far away from their family for a vacation.
Why don’t you like this idea. I think anytime kids can travel and learn firsthand about different things in different places it is well worth it. Do you think they will not be safe. Do you think there is some danger. If there is no real reason, it should be a great opportunity for them.
That sucks. Don’t you have any say in where the kids go? If you don’t want them to go, say so. Tell your girlfriend that they’ll be happy and busy at home, and find fun things to do all summer.
enjoy the possibilities. re-christen the living room furniture.
A vacation is good for some people after a hard time. But going for away and not letting the kids have some say is not a good idea.
My folks moved from England to the USA when I was 10. Every summer afterwards my sister and I got to fly back and stay with my grandparents for 6 weeks during summer vacation. They were the best summers of our lives – we loved the freedom of not being with our parents, and when we all came back together we found our relationships refreshed from the absence. Do your kids want to make the trip?
Anytime spent abroad is time well spent. Gives the kids a different perspective. I think it’s a good thing.
so what? it is not for you to decide what is wrong and what is right ….if she wants her kids to have time with thier aunt then that is HER decission…NOT YOURS….i too feel like the kids need a holiday…especially going to school all yr long and then summertime comes….they need a vacation.
