[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please realize most people in this area do not have 5 back-up plans in case of snow days like you: you organization is highly commendable, but with only one winter out of three being really bad (if that!), it does not occur to everyone to be this prepared, especially financially strapped parents of young children with NO family in the area.

There was a thread last week about back-up plans for snow days, in which MANY parents complained they were in difficulties finding them.

I encourage you to be understanding for now. Create written guidelines for snow days and the like in the future.

This!

Our nanny called out on snow days, and our back up didn't want to come either.  I think this happened 3 times this winter already.  It sucks because I am now behind, but playing catch up.  I have a 2 yr old DD - it's impossible to get much done with her at home.

I did ask my boss if it would be okay to try to get some work accomplished.  But she said no, take leave.  I would prefer to get something done, even if I'm at 30% capacity, it would be like I missed 1 less day of the 3.[/quote]
