[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hetero married mom here, and 'mom and dad' communications make me cringe. It costs nothing and should be no skin off anyone's back to say 'families' or 'your adults' or something else that doesn't give a kid who has a different family structure yet another reminder that they're different. They know already. Be inclusive and kind. It's worth saying something and worth modeling more inclusive language too.

It's not 1958 anymore. [/quote]

So you expect the teacher to waste their time changing form letters that they probably didn’t even write rather than caring for the education of your child? If you have an issue go to the school board meeting but chances are they’ll think you’re just as ridiculous as everyone else.[/quote]

What, exactly, are you afraid of here?  That single-mother households -- which have also always existed -- will be recognized by teachers?  What's wrong with that?   You seem really bent out of shape about this.[/quote]

So if they use the term parents do you have nothing better to do as a single mother than be offended by the “S”?[/quote]

Is it that time you had sex with another lady in college?  And you really need to suppress the memory?  So you need to make sure everything is "one man one woman married 4eva please don't make me go bra shopping I might orgasm"/[/quote]
