AMEN!  It is not a company's responsibility to be lenient on a working mom with childcare problems due to winter weather if she is falling behind and her workload suffers.

It is also not fair to other working moms who manage to show up because they created childcare backup options so that they could manage their workloads.  [/quote]

Certainly correct that a company has no 'responsibility' to be lenient. But a company that imagines it can have a workforce that exists solely to serve the company, without personal lives that involve children, spouses, bad weather, etc., simply isn't being realistic. My workforce is made up of smart, loyal employees who have tremendous experience in the industry. They stay with our firm because I understand that they have personal as well as professional lives. Our productivity is very high, largely because I have so little turnover. 
You can expect your employees to live for you and you alone, but I doubt you can be so clueless and successful at the same time.
