[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nah, people don’t get LIVID about that. They get LIVID when they have to change their routine/meeting schedule/lunch plans. [/quote]

Yup.  She's not worried about her kids' routine.  She's LIVID that she has to change her routine for one day.[/quote]

Not everyone has a job where that is easy to do. My young adult daughter runs a video conference meeting of 10 station managers every Wed AM 52 weeks a year. If she is sick, she has to run it. If she is on vacation, same. She doesn’t have kids yet, but she could not just “change her routine” to keep kids at home. [/quote]

These are the types of arguments that frustrate me. We all know schools inevitably will have to close at some point for some reason. The whole "my job isn't flexible" means you make a plan in advance. Maybe well in advance. Like "I don't have the patience or desire or ability to make accommodations for my child so I won't have kids I can't care for" in advance. Heck, I didn't even get a dog until I was certain I had a plan for his care, including to make sure if I dropped dead he had a place to go. If kids are too inconvenient why did you have them?
