[quote=Anonymous]Talk to the school? Surely they have encountered this before with young children and can help you out with suggestions. You may even prepare the teacher with a quick email to explain the situation, and that you'd prefer that a card is not forced. I would probably speak to your daughter about how to answer questions from other well-meaning parents who say stuff like "Oh Larla, where's your daddy today" when they sit next to her during a craft so she doesn't feel confused or unprepared. And if you do have a special adult male in her life - uncle, grandfather, friend's dad who can be aware and be willing to sit next to both of the girls - then you could do that. I know my DH would happily double up on charges for a school Father's Day activity if a fatherless friend of our son's asked. [/quote]
