Suzanne Venker, an at-home mom (which is, by the way, work) and author, may not have the Good Housekeeping seal of approval. She e-mails:

Last week I get a call from an editor at Good Housekeeping … who wanted to do an interview for a piece they’re doing on snow days. Said she considered me a “working mom” expert and wanted to know what working mothers could do with their kids when they have a snow day? At first I thought she meant IDEAS of things to do with them at home, but I quickly realized she meant WHERE can the children be sent so the moms can still go to work? As in, Do I know of any places that take kids for the day?
Clearly she hadn’t done her homework. So I answered her email by mentioning that snow days are typically only a day or two out of a year, so I suggested moms use one of their sick days or personal days. I also mentioned the YMCA takes kids for these situations, just to appease her.
My website was at the bottom of my email, and I never heard from her again.
