Thanks.. I had to go see for myself. One person stated, " I'm just here for the comments". lol

Def some jack holes over in the FB comments!

If you can’t stand to be around your kids, imagine how other people feel!!

I just want to defend them in saying that kids, elementary age, are used to a lot of programming throughout the day. It does get exhausting to compete with that, when you aren't used to providing a new activity every 15 minutes or so. I love being with my kid, but her teacher is brilliant at what she does. Also, we are not in SPS.

Must be city parents. I had to go check on my parents house out in the county and roads look like they did in the city on Tuesday. I know they only plow some streets but looks like no one even tried with any of them.

Yeah and everything that melted off in my neighborhood today is a sheet of ice.

This has been the case for years. Used to teach at SPS, we had group chats laughing at the FB comments. It was like a bingo or a Yahtzee if the angry parent belonged to one of the students in your class. 🤣

I love hanging out with my kids. I wish others felt the same about me. Lol

My favorite is the stay-at-home mom’s that are furious about it. Sorry that your SPS “daycare” ruined your mid-morning white wine and Xanax parties this week.

I just don’t understand why my child has to miss out on learning and therapy because no one in the town can drive when precipitation is present.

Have you tried learning at home? That’s an option, too. 🙂

Because it is a massive liability for busses to be driving on completely ice covered residential areas. Additionally, it is unsafe for kids to walk on ice covered roads/sidewalks as they go to their bus stop

You have a peculiar idea of what SAHMs do but go off.

I can understand why they are upset. I drove my step kids from springfield to strafford this morning no issues at all roads were clear and dry. Including the tiny side roads in strafford. If a small town like strafford full of county roads that don't ever get cleared has school there is no reason for springfield to cancel.

imagine being offended by a joke

Sorry my bad. This just sounded like nasty stereotyping. Must have misinterpreted your “humor.”

Right? I get that it's a meme that kids are a hassle and all that, but I see so many parents who treat their kids like this huge burden and act like martyrs about it.

When I'm out I see parents all the time yelling at or just ignoring their kids. Those kids are going to grow up and do the same thing back to those parents. And I'll bet the parents will still act like martyrs about it.

I'll take all the time I can get with my kid, they're only kids for a little while.

We’re out in Clever. On the FB post yesterday announcing AMI for today the very first comment is “what a crock of shit”.

big same to this! my kid is great! I am too if only people would give me a chance lmao.

I live on the west side. Willard district but have a wife who works and a kid who attends SPS. I was surprised they canceled until friend on south side sent pics of their neighborhood. Huge difference. My neighborhood and roads into willard were pretty much clear

Have a glass of Merlot or something and have a chill pill too

Us single moms work hard for everything but I think your joke is quite hilarious 😆

Okay so I can understand being upset because of struggling. Like living paycheck to paycheck and depending on SPS to have your child while you work. It’s rough. I have a baby and work full time and it can be hard to manage time off for things. But at the same time I love my child so much that getting to spend an extra “snow day” with him would be magical. I resent going to work and being away from him. But I can see if parents are struggling to afford basic bills and groceries and have to work why that would be a stressor. That’s the only reason I can think of to be stressed about a snow day anyways.
