Being an over-protective mom, I have argued with my husband that we should allow our son to join educational field trips only at later part of his elementary education, say on his fifth or sixth grade.
At first, my husband was mum about it, maybe trying to consider my take on the subject. My stand was due to my personal experience where my parents only allowed me to join field trips when I was a high school freshman.
For two years, my son begged us to allow him to join the school field trips but we firmly refused. This school year though, on his first grade, the school decided to make the Manila Ocean Park as the field trip’s destination. My son together with his papa convinced me to allow our baby to join the trip this time. I reluctantly agreed.
I was the worried mom, while my son and my husband were on the trip together (because I can’t go on leave to join the field trip), I continuously checked on them through call and text. Even if my son was busy touring the place, he happily and excitedly reported to me everything that was going on in his trip. It was a happy day for both my son and my husband and I felt bas I wasn’t with them on that special day.
The trip taught me again another lesson about mommyhood, that at times, we have to let go of our fears and worries so our children would be able to experience freedom and happiness. I’m glad I let go.

Definitely concur with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I inform you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail correct on the head and explained out everything without complication. Perhaps, individuals can take a signal. Will most likely be back to get a lot more. Many thanks
