"One doesn't hide your light under a basket, or in a chapel, right?"

If one lives in certain dioceses where there are no truly Catholic liturgies nor truly Catholic priests, and no examles of holiness, and where heresy is spouted as a matter of course, and where confessions are not offered regularly, or rarely, and one has numerous small children, as a father, I would say it would be perfectly reasonable to attend an alternative as an emergency situation. The Vatican agrees. The application of these circumstances must come with the help of a well-formed Catholic conscience. The same would apply to the necessity to attend a Greek Orthodox church to fulfill one's Sunday obligation.

If you think a Pauline Mass is not licit, then this condition would exist. That is not an orthodox position. If the Priest was validly ordained, and the Mass is conducted as a Catholic Mass following the GIRM, with no serious defects, then indeed there is no excuse. Even at that, the other options are non-Roman rite Catholic Churches, and there are plenty. Preference for the TLM is not considered licit, that comes from the Holy See.

I understand about children, but frankly, my kids go to CCD, and then when they get home they get the advanced version from me, and our discussions.

This condition does not exist in the United States.
