it was just one of those week ends when everything seems to be happening at that time, they usually go to bed early sunday ready for monday, never usually late in fact early

Tough call-depends on the age. Sounds like maybe a day off with you to hang out and let everyone recharge would be good. I know you can get a busy strecth but if it happens lots you may have to cut back on extra stuff some-as they get older missing any time at school will be a major issue. But lord knows we have all been there honestly could likely use the rest ourselves:)

As a teacher i would have wanted the children to come in the morning or the afternoon, not so far into the school day as this can be disruptive. I wouldn't have a problem with the children having a half day or a full day off if it was a rare occurrence but some teachers and head teachers would. It is a parents responsibility to ensure they attend but i think also parents know their children best and their needs. Don't beat yourself up over it as long as it is not a regular occurrence. Most schools understand that children and parents have active lives out of school.

Some times, kids just need a day off. Or yes, an extra half hour to snooze.
I would not let this happen again for quite some time though, so that they learn it was only a once off thing, not something that will happen regularly.
It IS better to only miss some of the day rather than all of it.

We have weekend like this occasionally and I really don't think it does any harm, personally I would have woken them up sent them to school then let them chill after school and an early night. But I'm not putting down what you done at all, 30 mins late to school is no big deal compared to some children whos parents let them have days off for no reason!

I would have made them get up and go to school on time. Lots of people have busy weekends. That is no excuse to be late to school or work. If someone was ill or there had been a death in the family that would be different.

It depends on what time they went to bed last night?? If it was not too late even though they had had a hectic weekend i would have sent them to school on time and then put them to bed early tonight. Some people may disagree but its important for them not to miss school. Maybe they shouldn't have so many outside of school activities. This is my own personal opinion you are their mum and its up to you what you do!

I would have made sure they had an early night on Sunday and were up in time on Monday. School is always on a Monday, you know that and should account for it. Education is just SO important, your children won't get this time to learn ever again. Dare I assume from your spelling and grammar that you clearly missed a few days at school yourself, your question is very hard to read and understand.

I would have let them sleep in, like you did, then took them to school late. I would have phoned the school and sent a note to each teacher telling them they would be coming a little late this morning. I have done this several times in my daughters ten years of life and it's been a huge benefit to her each time.
Always put your child, and it's needs, ahead of anything else each and every time. You are right on track here. Their need to rest is so much more important than them spending a full day at school.

I would of sent my daughter to school on time.
If she had such a busy weekend I would try to get as much as I can done on Saturday and let her lie in on Sunday morning.
Any parties she goes to on Sundays have to be the afternoon or else we don't go..
School is so important and its good to have a routine and not to brake it for the sake of parties..
