[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many type A parents in DC. No one can predict with any certainty. Just roll with it. Why is that so hard?[/quote]

Do you have a job and need to be able to plan your availability and hours in order to keep it?  I don't think its type A to need to remain employed, which partly depends on a structured workday even for people lucky enough to work from home.  For people doing retail and service jobs, not being able to plan ahead is a disaster. I don't think you have any sense of what most people are dealing with here. [/quote]

Easy to "roll with it" if you're a SAHM.  But even if I'm working from home, I still need to be able to plan my workdays in advance -- schedule meetings, be able to focus, etc.  And if I have to go into work, I need childcare, because I can't just take a week of leave every time my kid has to quarantine or whatever.  How easy do you think it is to find a reliable babysitter on very short notice who can watch your kids during the day, all day, for a week?  This is hard for working parents; if you don't need the job or the money, good for you, but most people do.  [/quote]

I work as well. The point is that no one knows what is going to happen. Screaming about it on DCUM will not change anything. The fall is going to be anything but predictable and it is best to just make peace with that. Humans are not great at making predictions in general [/quote]
