[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] You are asking everyone to normalize something that is not normal. We SHOULD strive as a society to have kids who know their "mom and dad."[/quote] +1[/quote] Saying “mom and dad” won’t make them appear out of thin air if students are being raised by other adults besides a heterosexual mom and dad.
