[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the parents I've spoken too agree, they want the schools closed until it's safe to open.  Probably around Thursday.  It's a joy to spend time together as a family, enjoy these times.  Soon they'll be out of school.    [/quote]

Are you being sarcastic? Evidently you are not a working mother trying to balance meetings, deliverables, proposals, trying to limit screen time, thinking of educational activities to keep kids engaged, remembering to feed your kids meals (let alone feed yourself), slip sliding all over the yard while taking the dogs out, etc., etc.

I understand why the kids are out of school and I'm resigned to that, but I am not going to pretend that I'm happy about it and that I think that it's better for my kids to be home rather than in school.[/quote]

That's what family is for.  You and your husband should enjoy this time together with your children.  You'll miss it when it's gone.  [/quote]

I absolutely agree!  It's sad that anybody has to tell people to enjoy the time they have with their kids despite whatever work issues they also must endure.  Although on the other hand if you refuse to be happy about that part of it you are probably right that your kids would be better off in school or with a sitter.  [b]They don't need to get the vibe that you can't appreciate extra time with them[/b].[/quote]

In a world where most people have limited PTO is not ‘extra’ its a tradeoff. Probably a bad one. Its one more school event a working parent will miss because they wasted a day off. It’s shorter vacations. Most kids would rather have a day with their parents at the beach than a(nother) day inside with one parent. You know this, of course, you’re just trying to deny the reality of kist to excuse FCPS behavior. [/quote]

Pointing out that you might be suffering from a breakdown is in no way linked to the FCPS school closure.[/quote]

^ Everyone should ignore this person. She is trying to gaslight parents who want very normal and expected things into feeling guilty and thinking there's something wrong with them.[/quote]

Not this person you are fighting with but parents who care and expect safety for travel to and from school are normal and should not feel guilty about caring. Just stop already.[/quote]

Go take those salty tears outside and use them to melt the death-ice.[/quote]

Sounds like you are very salty because you didn't get your way today...boo hoo[/quote]
