DD1 will start primary school next year. DP also has three months of long service leave next year. Not exactly sure of when he's eligible.

Anyhow, we've been talking for ages about going to Europe for three months. My parents/sister/niece/nephew are in the UK.

DD1 is a very sociable child who makes friends easily. I'm not worried about her settling into primary school or resettling in. We're in a small town and she knows a lot of the kids she'll be going to school with already.

I feel a bit torn about her missing so much of primary school but it's not like she'll be in Year 10.

So if we decide to go, would you go sooner or later in the school year?

Did anyone else do similar?
