[quote=Anonymous]This thread is depressing. For background, both parents in our family are present and accounted for, and we have flexible schedules so we can make it to these types of things. But I agree with OP, what's the point? What value does it add to be that specific "donuts with DAD" or "muffins with MOM" ? Why not just do a family day? I get what the PTA is trying to do here, give each parent their own special time with that kid, and it's valuable, but there are other places to do that besides school. And to all of those saying "oh cry me a river" please remember that these are young children, not grown ups who should grow a thick skin. If we can't take a few moments to be sensitive to kids who might be missing their fathers (or mothers) very, very much for whatever reason, then there's something really wrong with us. BTW, just to further establish myself as the bleeding heart...donuts? really? I want my kid eating donuts in school? No. [/quote]
