Are you being sarcastic? Evidently you are not a working mother trying to balance meetings, deliverables, proposals, trying to limit screen time, thinking of educational activities to keep kids engaged, remembering to feed your kids meals (let alone feed yourself), slip sliding all over the yard while taking the dogs out, etc., etc.

I understand why the kids are out of school and I'm resigned to that, but I am not going to pretend that I'm happy about it and that I think that it's better for my kids to be home rather than in school.

That's what family is for. You and your husband should enjoy this time together with your children. You'll miss it when it's gone.

I absolutely agree! It's sad that anybody has to tell people to enjoy the time they have with their kids despite whatever work issues they also must endure. Although on the other hand if you refuse to be happy about that part of it you are probably right that your kids would be better off in school or with a sitter. They don't need to get the vibe that you can't appreciate extra time with them.

In a world where most people have limited PTO is not ‘extra’ its a tradeoff. Probably a bad one. Its one more school event a working parent will miss because they wasted a day off. It’s shorter vacations. Most kids would rather have a day with their parents at the beach than a(nother) day inside with one parent. You know this, of course, you’re just trying to deny the reality of kist to excuse FCPS behavior.

Pointing out that you might be suffering from a breakdown is in no way linked to the FCPS school closure.

^ Everyone should ignore this person. She is trying to gaslight parents who want very normal and expected things into feeling guilty and thinking there's something wrong with them.

Not this person you are fighting with but parents who care and expect safety for travel to and from school are normal and should not feel guilty about caring. Just stop already.

Not referring to PP, but not everybody is a loving and caring parent - they often hate every aspect of parenthood.

Oh shut up already. You're the same type who tells exhausted mothers of newborns to enjoy every second, while they are barely hanging on with postpartum depression symptoms. Parents do not have to enjoy every moment of parenthood. They are allowed to be frustrated with prolonged school closures and stressed about balancing work and kids, especially when it brings back memories of what was a really hard time during the pandemic. It is ok for kids to be aware that their parents can't always drop everything when school is closed, especially now that most adults can telework. Not everything is a black and white dichotomy. That is the thinking of a simple-minded individual. Emotions can co-exist.

Wow! you must have quite an awful life to project so much emotion on an anonymous forum.

Thanks for confirming you are a simpleton.

Thanks for proving my point.

Your point is beyond tired. "People who want their kids at school hate them!" Take your smug ass back to 2020 with that crap.

So much tantruming about school closures seems like you took yourself right back to 2020. I'm sure you were crying then too.
