Snow day

[Anonymous]

Hilariously, at least half of the posters on here are absolutely stay-at-home moms. No one who is actually having to juggle working and childcare today has time to be moaning anonymously on this forum.

Most professionals cannot completely check out like that for weeks on end.

My spouse is one of you professionals- as long as their Teams isn’t red for more than a couple hours at a time they can stay checked out in perpetuity.

Anyway, since teaching is so easy I’ll be sure to welcome you personally when you sign up for next year. I’m sure with your depth of expertise principals will clamor over you.

My husband didn’t take any vacation days between Christmas Eve and New Year’s. He checked his email in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. I think he participated on two teams meetings and two phone calls. We binge watched three shows over the break.

There are plenty of employees in the real world checking out.

Your husband sounds rotten

Ok, whatever. It was great having him home with us during the week.

I’m sure it was. He just cheated and lied instead of taking actual time off.

It’s not going to get above 30F until Saturday at the earliest, and will be 20f or below every night. Are you aware of what happens to plowed roads when it’s that temperature, or do you get your weather information from RFK Jr?

DP. I live on a cul de sac that seldom gets plowed. It's been plowed today. And, yes, it will likely ice over some tomorrow, but, I would plan on Wednesday--with a delay. Roads can be treated.

I think Wednesday is a toss up...def a delay but could be a closing. Enjoy the snow, cocoa, and games with your kids. Or stomp your feet and be angry about it.

Ok, I think being off today and tomorrow is the right call because this area doesn’t handle snow well, let’s be honest. But no one who is stressed about the weather closures is “enjoying snow, cocoa, and games with the kids.” They’re trying to work, as well as manage their kids at home after a very long 2 week break, and it’s stressful. Shades of 2020-2021. Let’s try to just get through this. If the second wave of snow tonight doesn’t drop too much and if it doesn’t drag on too long into Tuesday morning, I’m thinking positive thoughts for school on Weds with a probable 2 hour delay. I’ve been out shoveling and snowblowing all day and the snow is fairly dry/powdery and removal hasn’t been too difficult.

Dude. TWO snow days is NOT “shades of 2020-2021,” please get a grip.

They suck and are the worst when your kids are little. But the years go quick and you will love them when your kids hit middle and HS and you don’t need daycare anymore and they can get themselves to the bus stop. You will wish every day was a delay when middle school hits.

+1, snow days are tough when your kids are little, but they happen practically every winter. Its just a few more years.

Why do people have kids if they don't enjoy when they are around?

This is such a tired argument. We all love our children. We also want them to be educated and attend school. Do you homeschool, and not work? If the answer is no to either of those, why don’t YOU enjoy having your kids around?

And they will be, when there isn’t inclement weather. Cope.

My guess is off tomorrow, 2hr delays the rest of the week so that high schoolers don’t have to get to school in the dark with the ice

I doubt plows will get to all of the neighborhood streets by Wednesday morning.

Getting to literally every street is not a requirement to reopen schools. Bus stops are usually on more well traveled roads, which will be plowed.

It basically is and yes, nudes drive on neighborhood roads, especially for elementary school kids. We live across the street from our ES and usually get plowed pretty early but not yet today.

Best. Autocorrect. Ever.

Why?

DP. It is good for the brain to shake things up a bit. Like taking a different route home from work is healthy for your brain.

Um, kids have been home since December 21. At this point school would be the change in routine needed to shake things up.

You’re so desperate. It’s fun to watch.

Clearly 90@ of DCUM moms are choosing the latter.

LET TRY AGAIN IN AUGUST
DO THE SAME THING THEY DID IN 2020-
I BETTER NOT SEE A SINGLE KID CRY ABOUT SCHOOL CLOSING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR AGAIN- I AM SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING THEM CRY AND CRY AND CRY ON HOW THEY SHOULD BE IN 4TH GRADE BECAUSE OF SCHOOL CLOSRER BUT THEY ARE IN 9TH GRADE.

So get out of the bubble!! We all can't be sipping hot chocolate.

Honey, of course we “realize” that. Our parents handled it on snow days (pre telework, when most had to physically go into work when their kids had snow days). So did their parents.

You can too. Promise.
