Missing my son's first weeks of school while on honeymoon, Wwyd?

I personally couldn't do it. But you have already put non-refundable deposits down so I don't think you have any choice unless the venue would let you change the dates without losing the deposits. I'm surprised this is something just coming up now though since most schools have their schedules out so far in advance.

I feel like you should go. I would understand if it was his first day of kindergarten (that's a big deal!) I think after a couple weeks he will be settled in class and will be fine with grandma and grandpa. Enjoy your honeymoon with your husband!

As a mom, I wouldn’t have wanted to be gone from my kid in her first few weeks of kindergarten. Obviously every kid is different, but my daughter had a hard time adjusting to 5 full days of school after only doing 3 half days per week for pre-K. This is really a personal thing that no one else can answer for you though.

I'm honestly so mad at myself for forgetting about school when we started booking the hotels, I'm going to be thinking about this a lot. He's great at adapting, he does amazing in Sunday school, and church camp, but school feels like something completely different. As a mom I want to be here for him, and as a spouse I also want to be there for my FH. I will be sitting and talking with him about this, I would just like to hear opinions from you and your spouses.

That is a tough situation. My wedding is still 2 yrs away but it will be close to the start of the school year for my son. He will either have just started school the week prior or will be starting school the week following. My FH and I have discussed whether or not we will have a honeymoon. If we do take one we will be missing a week. Also by that time our daughter will probably be starting pre k. On the other hand, in the 7 yrs I've been a mom, I've never been away from my kids longer than 2 days. Currently FH and I have never been away from the kids overnight, so I would be looking forward to time with just my FH.

Your fiance is right, you should go. You'll be there the first day and after that it really won't be on your child's radar. Its you that will worry about more not the child and honestly there won't be any recollection of it. Enjoy your time with your husband, your kids wont feel abandoned so don't make that up in your head.
