I'm in tears right now. DH always feels the need to argue with me about my policies.
We are expecting about 6" of snow tonight and it's my policy that if the schools close for weather then I do too. With pay... it's the ONLY time I require payment when I close.
I texted my families to give them a heads up to be prepared just in case the schools close since every school district within an hour of here has already closed. Ours always waits until the last minute.
One dcm said there's no way she or her husband can miss work tomorrow and they will need to bring their daughter. I didn't respond. Her daughter was sick with 102+ fevers twice this month. It's not my fault that either of them had to miss work nor is it any concern of mine that they have no back-up.
DH saw me roll my eyes at the text message so I explained it to him. He got really upset and said its unreasonable to close at all. My thoughts are that if anyone needed to pick up their child in an emergency that there's no guarantee they will be able to make it from work quickly and safely. Same goes for emergency personnel... will they be able to get here safely and quickly?
Anyway, now both dcm and dh have me questioning my policy
Should I just stay open?
