Limo for Elementary School Father-Daughter Dance?

Now that's just down right hilarious. Did they install a rear facing car seat in the limo for the night?

Hahahaha! So. Much. Truth.

Not.

What part of NJ did you live in/grow up in? Stop watching reality tv. This is over the top anywhere.

Sounds more like the south to me. My FB friends in NC post pics of their 7-year-old daughters going off to father-daughter dances.

The whole thing is just so gross. Reminds me of Duggars and promise rings. I wish this trend hadn't leaked into our area.

My first thought was omg T-A-C-K-Y. But you're right. The kids would think it was coolest thing ever.

Well if the kids think it's cool who cares what it costs....


It used to be a wedding was the first many would even get in a limo

Then it was Senior prom

Then it was any dance, including middle school dances

Now it is Father/Daughter dances??

Soon parents will be talking their kids home from the hospital in limos.

Why?

Because not all kids have a dad, for starters.

Meh. The sooner they learn that not everyone is the same or is not going to cater to their individual circumstance, the better.

I'm pretty sure the kids know this. But why should we cater to the individual circumstances of the kids who have fathers rather then the kids who don't? Are kids with fathers truly that special of snowflakes that they have to have this?

Parent-kid time is important. I can see dads taking their kids hiking, riding bikes, going to lunch, reading together, going to the movies, etc.

Something like a father - daughter hike seems like nice bonding time, a father-daughter dance strikes me as extremely creepy. I just don't get it.

Well if I have the money to blow and my kids think it would be fun,why do you care if I get a limo?! You have never done something or bought something because your kids wanted to experience it? They're kids. So much judgment. My kids' school doesn't do daddy/daughter or mother/son dances but if they did I don't understand all the judgment over hiring a limo. Jesus people. How about judging whether someone is a jerk, not whether they hire transportation from what is probably a dyinnnindustry (whennis the last time you saw a limo anyway)? The kids get to all ride together in what they think is a fancy car with lights inside,OMG everyone just freak out and shame their parents.

Jesus.

My first time in a limo was when I became an executive at a large corporation and they started having me picked up for events, airports, hotels that way.

The whole thing is cheesy and creepy. Simulating a date with dad is bizarre, and yeah, I think it's totally insensitive to the kids without parents, whose dads have to work at night, have social anxiety, etc. This kind of weird event should be left to churches. I hope schools are not having these.

+1

and, yes, OP. It's tacky.

We had one this year and it was really fun and sweet. That said, please no limo. Make a reservation at a restaurant for a big group of girls and their dads before the dance. It's a fun night that felt special for my daughter.

Must be a school where they are darn sure every girl has a dad in the picture.

No, but kids with Dads deserve that special bond and special moments. They shouldn't just stop doing these dances because a small portion of kids don't have Dads. My daughter is getting ready to go a Mother/Daughter tea a few weeks before graduation. Should we cancel that because a few kids don't have moms?
