[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make Up Track Meet is scheduled.

a big middle finger to the parents who made this a priority; we know who you are; we see your excitement at the track meets with the matching tents and all that.

they are kids and it was traumatic. but great for adding to another thing for us to manage.[/quote]

For us to manage?  You work for DCIAA?[/quote]

So you aren’t managing how to talk to your kids about this? Therapy appointments and the like?

You don’t have to manage a job, end of school activities, etc. and now talking to your kid about death on top of it. Lucky you[/quote]

I was there and am definitely still dealing with the experience. However, this is a pretty strange take. This anger feels completely misdirected. I’m not eager to attend the make up meet but I know some of the kids are and I think it’s nice for them to offer. I am pretty darn mad at the city and the gunmen. But the purpose of rescheduling isn’t to inconvenience you personally - it’s people who also had a terrible experience genuinely trying to do their best to improve what’s an all around bad situation. Go or don’t go but maybe you need to take a deep breath and try to maintain some perspective.[/quote]
