[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a single mother who moved to Fairfax without children, no family in the area and no husband, I absolutely empathize with all of the parents with the childcare issues.

HOWEVER, I'm still confounded and somewhat disgusted by all the grumbling.

The FIRST thing I did when I arrived was find childcare options, particularly in light of that 1/2 day Monday. I couldn't get off half days to pick up my children. However, they were able to take the bus to the babysitters.

I met moms through church and my children's schools. T

There was always a back up plan. I can't imagine bemoaning how snow days affected my job/leave/etc.

You PLAN for the unexpected the minute you have kids. It seems one of my children was always sick. You have a contingency plan.

What is wrong with you moms who have spouses in the picture who can help you out?

Stop whining and be proactive about making arrangements with other moms. Because YES, snow days do happen--quite often-in this area.

PREPARE for them!!!!

Bitching and moaning won't keep the schools open.[/quote]
