Meh

All of those same parents ***** and moan about the alternative childcare arrangements they've made, or day they have to take off work, when it turns out that a closure wasn't necessary. They ALSO ***** and moan when schools aren't closed, and they have trouble getting up the driveway or have to deal with horrific snow day traffic when schools aren't cancelled. Basically ... miserable gits are going to ***** and moan because *****ing and moaning validates their pain.
