If you take your child out without permission, each parent can be fined £60 per child. If you don’t pay within 21 days, that doubles to £120. And if you still don’t pay? You could end up in court with a fine of up to £2,500. Ouch.
Imagine that money instead went towards a proper family pizza night, or a new board game. Suddenly, that “cheap” holiday doesn’t feel so cheap anymore, does it?
