Lucky you, SAHM... Many of us had to work and weren't able to bake muffins and take our kids sledding.
We all make our own choices in life. Why disparage PP for her choices?
Because PP is saying "It's unfortunate so many kids didn't learn today".
Isn’t that the big complaint on this thread? That no one was learning yesterday?
And what that Pp was saying was your kids can still be learning outside of school or distance learning. Kids learn a lot through play and individual exploration. Obviously some of you get upset on snow days because you won’t take the iPad and your kids just watch videos but lots of kids do other stuff that is good for them. My kids spent the snow day painting and drawing and building a puzzle. My oldest read a book about Greek gods cause that’s what she’s into. She made a list of them from favorite to least favorite. Some of y’all just reveal your own weak parenting when you complain about what your kids are or aren’t doing on one day off of school.
Why are you a bad parent? I’m assuming you’re parenting to a level you consider as appropriate. You come off as angry to others for parenting in a way they see as best for their children.

How nice that you don’t have to work.
We don’t know they didn’t. Quite a bit of that could be done with minor supervision.
