Your Granny Mo giving you six weeks of "up Main St and down the same street" while your parents worked is doing more cultural transmission than it probably ever got credit for. I think about this a lot with my own daughter, what actually gets passed down usually isn't the planned things, it's the unstructured weeks with the people who aren't us. Hope you get your own version of a Sagmeister this year.
Lovely! I am now the mother considering sending my kid with his grandparents in a different country to enjoy summer while I work (sadly). Is it that easy? Just putting your kids in a plane and someone picks them up possibly with a form or paper to check their identities? Seems promising!
It used to be! In the days before budget airlines. We’d fly with British Airways and they’d assign one of the plane staff to take us onto the plane, check in on us during the flight. It was only an hour in the air, but I’m sure some providers still offer it.

Thank you Kevin! I will investigate the options! 😍
