Illness can not be helped.and those children deserve extra support once they return to school. But Beggas bloody holidays are always during term time. I maybe hated for saying this, but I don't care, if parents choose to holiday during term time, they can't blame school if their kids fall behind or don't achieve their full potential. A holiday is a luxury not a priority, education is a priority not a luxury. As the boys get older they will struggle, with catching up with work they missed or areas of work they're struggling with,this wouldn't be as much of an issue if they had educated, articulate parents to support them at home,. Steve is the best of the bad bunch, but neither one of them seems bright enough to support the boys education, that's just at primary level, God help them at secondary level.
She and Steve don't look like a couple they look quite awkward together
