[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell them to go play with their toys! Jfc!!! When I was younger (90s) we didn’t go anywhere for break and didn’t have playdates during snow days. Let the kids get creative. You don’t have to entertain them every minute.

Are you a parent?[/quote]

Yes! My kid is now 17. She used to play with her monster high dolls or color or watch a movie. We would of course do some special things together but she could never be hyper dependent on me for entertainment. [/quote]

No offense, but it's not exactly an apples to apples comparison when you dismiss current parents of elementary/preK school battling this week's snow versus your teenaged daughter or in the 90s.  Even when your daughter was young enough to be a burden during snow days (at LEAST 10 years ago!), phone/screen usage wasn't quite as pervasive as it is now.  You definitely had snow days, but those were for actual blizzards,  not a moderate snow event like this was for most.

Every generation of parenting has struggles, so please don't downplay what parents are going through during snow days, especially the ones that are debatable for at least half of this county.[/quote]

I doubt that PP is the same person that posted above about the 90s. Strains credulity. But either way, most parents don't really remember what it was like to parent when their kid was 10 years younger.[/quote]

I am the person that posted about the 90s and having a teen. *I* grew up in the 90s. Yes, I do remember what it’s like to parent someone under 10. I did say I was a teacher did I not? Elementary and middle school. I’m well aware what they’re like. [/quote]
